Market Definition2012The OECD Competition Committee debated Market Definition in June 2012. This documentincludes an executive summary, an aide-memoire of the discussion and the documents fromthe meeting: an analytical note by Ulrich Schwalbe and Frank Maier-Rigaud, writtensubmissions by Australia, Bulgaria, Colombia, Chile, Finland, France, the European Union,Germany, Hungary, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Latvia, Korea, Malta, Mexico, Norway,Peru, Poland, Romania, the Russian Federation, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,Chinese Taipei, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, the United States and BIAC as wellas a contribution from Nils Wahl.Market definition is one of the most fundamental concepts underpinning essentially all competition policyissues, from mergers, through dominance/monopolisation to agreements.Market definition provides an analytical framework for the ultimate inquiry of whether a particular conduct ortransaction is likely to produce anticompetitive effects. The roundtable covered market definition from a legaland economic point of view but also new methods ranging from merger simulation models, compensatingmarginal cost reductions (CMCR) to pricing pressure indices (PPI).The debate focused essentially on the legal aspects of market definition and the institutional “embeddedness”of the concept, the circumstances under which market definition may not result in an accurate assessment ofmarket power and alternative tools that have been proposed for specific circumstances such as for exampledifferentiated product mergers under price competition, for which PPI’s were specifically designed.Standard for Merger Review (2009)Two-sided Markets (2009)Presenting Complex Economic Theories to Judges (2008)
