AB  - This paper critically evaluates the draft version of the US Merger Guidelines from 2023 (D23), which departs from the consumer welfare standard, sparking intense debates within the academic, professional, and business communities. D23, released by the US Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission, introduces a shift toward a more structuralist approach in horizontal merger assessment. The paper examines the diverse perspectives of D23, with some perceiving it as a populist move sidelining economic rationale and others viewing it as an attempt to base decisions on factual grounds and enhance antitrust activism. The discussion emphasises the importance of precision in defining relevant markets within D23, a crucial element in merger assessment. This analysis sheds light on the evolving landscape of merger policy, prompting critical inquiries into the future trajectory of competition law.

AB  - Unlike other natural disasters, the coronavirus disease pandemic is global in character, which is why interest among researchers in the price gouging phenomenon is on the rise. Without disputing many solid arguments favouring the market mechanism, we will reconsider the goals and means of potential government intervention. One possibility lies in economic regulation, the other in competition law. In the first case, price ceilings are usually imposed for necessary goods, followed by rationing and export restrictions. On the other hand, competition policy focuses on preventing the exercise of temporary market power. We will try to show that market failures can provide specific arguments for regulation but relying on competition protection policy seems unjustified. Still, since the critical issue is defining excessive prices in the short run, we expect competition authorities to address this issue, considering that they are permanently monitoring various markets.
