📣 We are pleased to announce that the report "𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐔” has been published by the European Commission. The report was prepared by a consortium of firms led by Lear - Economic Consultancy and comprising E.CA Economics, FIDERES, Prometeia, University of East Anglia, and Verian Group. Our report contributes to the Commission's report "𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝”, which will be presented on June 27 at a conference hosted by EU Competition Policy. Our report, the Commission’s report and information on the conference are available below: 👉 OUR REPORT https://bit.ly/4cC8dmE 👉 COMMISSION REPORT https://bit.ly/3L1Dbch 👉 CONFERENCE https://bit.ly/3XDCKw9 The report includes five chapters. Chapter 1, prepared by Lear, and in particular by our Partner Salvatore Nava and Consultant Elena Salomone, with support from Prometeia, describes the available evidence on how, over the past few decades, competition across markets in the EU seems to have weakened: industry concentration and markups have increased, while the gap between market leaders and followers has widened and business dynamism has declined. Chapter 2, prepared by the University of East Anglia and Fideres, along with a team of researchers from academia, provides evidence that higher market concentration is generally associated with higher prices in six sectors of economic activity: mobile telecom, airlines, beer, mortgages, modern consumer retail and cement. For mobile telecoms and airlines, the report includes original empirical analyses that allow to infer a causal effect of market concentration on prices and other outcomes. Chapter 3, prepared by ECA Economics, provides an analysis of the evolution of “Global Superstars” – the most profitable of the world’s largest firms – and finds that their profit rates have increased significantly over the last 25 years, and that the distribution of profits has become more skewed. Chapter 4, led by Lear Senior Advisor Elena Argentesi and Consultant Livia De Simone, informs the debate on the interplay between domestic competition and export competitiveness. A survey of EU-based exporting firms, conducted by Verian, suggests that effective domestic competition within the Single Market is an important driver of their global export competitiveness and does not constrain their scale. Finally, chapter 5, prepared by Prometeia, provides original estimates of the costs of non-competition to the wider economy. Relying on own estimates of markups, the report shows that effective competition brings about sizeable macro-economic benefits, positively affecting investment, employment, productivity and GDP growth. The study was coordinated by Lear, and in particular by Salvatore Nava and Elena Salomone, with support from leading scholar Tomaso Duso.

Economic consultancy that strives to offer a wide range of services in the field of competition policy and regulation.
Chi siamo
Lear is an economic consultancy that specializes in applying microeconomic modelling and quantitative tools to a variety of issues. We support firms and their legal advisors in: (i) proceedings before national and supranational competition authorities for suspected breaches of the antitrust legislation or for the ex ante review of merger transactions; (ii) civil claims before national courts regarding anticompetitive practices, IP or trademark infringements and contractual breaches, acting as the party-appointed expert and providing expert damages quantification. We also routinely undertake research projects, policy evaluations and impact assessments in the field of competition policy and beyond, on behalf of institutional clients such as the European Commission, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the World Bank. Examples of our work include: - the quantification of the damages caused by a cartel in the market for medium and heavy trucks, where we have estimated damages using econometric techniques; - the assessment of the competitive effects of a merger in the sector for the retailing of gasoline, where we have managed large datasets on gas pumps’ prices to predict the price effect of the merger; - an evaluation of so-called killer acquisitions in the pharmaceutical sector, where we have used machine learning techniques to predict which characteristics of a transaction make it more likely to have adverse effects on competition.

We are pleased to announce our involvement in the Phase 2 merger, approved by the Italian Competition Authority (Autorità Antitrust), concerning the acquisition of Sammontana S.p.A. and Forno d’Asolo S.p.A. by Frozen Investment S.à.r.l. and Sammontana Finanziaria S.r.l. In collaboration with the law firms Chiomenti, Bird & Bird, and BonelliErede, as well as the consultancy firm Oxera Consulting LLP, we addressed the competitive concerns raised by the AGCM regarding the production and distribution market of frozen viennoiserie. Together, we successfully defined suitable remedies to mitigate these concerns. #merger #antitrust #autorità #acquisition #competition
L’operazione di concentrazione - tra Sammontana S.p.A. e Forno d’Asolo S.p.A. operatori nel mercato dei prodotti da forno surgelati per la prima colazione - avrebbe potuto determinare la creazione di una posizione dominante. L’Autorità ha imposto misure per garantire una pressione competitiva sull’entità post merger e per migliorare l’accesso agli sbocchi distributivi da parte dei concorrenti. 🔹L’Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato ha riscontrato che la fusione potrebbe ridurre la concorrenza e determinare la creazione di una posizione dominante, poiché Sammontana S.p.A. e Forno d’Asolo S.p.A. avrebbero una quota di mercato molto elevata, tra il 45% e il 50%, tale da garantire la leadership nelle vendite nazionali dei prodotti da forno surgelati in Italia. Ciò potrebbe incentivare aumenti dei prezzi a causa della ridotta pressione competitiva. 🔹Per mitigare questi effetti, l’Autorità ha imposto delle misure per garantire una pressione competitiva sull’entità post merger e per migliorare l’accesso agli sbocchi distributivi da parte dei concorrenti. 🔹Una di queste misure consiste nella dismissione a favore di un operatore concorrente di una società già attiva sul mercato con propri impianti produttivi, capacità distributiva e marchi affermati.

Great conference last week at DG Competition to discuss the Commission’s report 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑛 𝑎 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑. We are proud to have contributed to the report, and the conference, with our support study 𝐸𝑥𝑝𝑙𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐴𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐸𝑈. The reports sparked interesting discussions on, inter alia, how competition has evolved, if and how competition law enforcement – and competition policy more broadly – need to adapt to meet these challenges, the interplay between competition and competitiveness and the role of industrial policy. The recording of the conference is available here: https://bit.ly/4cDkDLd The discussion will continue at the Lear Competition Festival (LCF), which will host a plenary session featuring the key members of the consortium that prepared the Lear report.
