There Have Been Several Mergers Of Large Firms Within Oligopolies In There have been several mergers of large firms within oligopolies. In this assignment, you are to select one merger of publicly traded companies that has occurred in the last five years. You can find these by doing an internet search using the terms such as "recent mergers and acquisitions," or you may go to FTC.gov and review their recent cases and proceedings. Write a paper that describes the principal firms, their industry, and that summarizes either the arguments in support of the merger or the arguments opposing the merger. The core of the paper should be approximately 2 pages in length, excluding the title page and bibliography. In addition to the 2 pages of content, include a title page, abstract, and bibliography.

Consider whether the merger increases market concentration, and discuss if high market concentration is advantageous or detrimental to consumers. Explain how the merger benefits the firms and society, or if it is damaging to society. You might incorporate economic concepts such as productive efficiency, administrative efficiency, or dynamic efficiency in your analysis.
