I analyze potential counterfactual results in the first chapter of my dissertation. Second (joint with Nick Doudchenko) and third (joint with Dmitry Arkhangelsky and Lanier Benkard) chapters develop methodology that is necessary for the estimation of the models alike the one analyzed in the first chapter. The first chapter studies the outcomes of a hypothetical T-Mobile/Sprint and AT& T/T-Mobile mergers in the U.S. wireless telecommunications industry. I propose a model in which consumers trade off price and network coverage, so firms have to compete on both price and investment. The key finding is that had T-Mobile and Sprint merged in 2009, consumers would have benefited from expanded network coverage. The two firms would have increased profits due to less duplication on the investment side. An acquisition of T-Mobile by AT& T, on the other hand, would have harmed consumers because it would not have resulted in better coverage. Additionally, the outcomes of the T-Mobile/Sprint merger vary across geographic areas. Markets with high population density or flat terrain typically have a strong initial Sprint or T-Mobile presence, and would therefore experience lower, often negative, changes in consumer surplus as a result of the merger. Conversely, markets where the merging parties struggle to enter separately, mainly those with lower population density and harder to cover terrain, benefit more because the merger would diversify carrier choices. In the second chapter we propose a new method of estimation for discrete choice demand models when individual level data are available. The method employs a two-step procedure. Step 1 predicts the choice probabilities as functions of the observed individual level characteristics. Step 2 estimates the structural parameters of the model using the estimated choice probabilities at a fixed point and the moment restrictions. In essence, the method uses nonparametric approximation (followed by) moment estimation. Hence the name--NAME. We use simulations to compare the performance of NAME with the standard methodology. We find that our method delivers an improved precision as well as a substantially faster convergence time. We supplement the analysis by providing the large sample properties of the proposed estimator. In the third chapter we investigate the finite sample properties of iterative two-step procedures. We show how iterations of the fixed point equation might reduce the first-order bias in the problem. Based on this, we propose a new iterative estimator that works in games and achieves fully parametric properties even if the initial first stage estimator is not accurate. The estimator has several appealing properties such as bias reduction, stability, and computational feasibility. Some known results, such as iterative estimators by policy function iterations in the single agent dynamic discrete choice models Aguirregabiria and Mira (2002) or recursive projections methods from Kasahara and Shimotsu (2009) are special cases of our corrected procedure. We test the performance of our estimator in several examples via simulations.
Book Synopsis Static Or Dynamic Efficiency by : Michal Grajek

Book excerpt: This paper studies five mergers in the European wireless telecommunication industry and analyzes their impact on prices and capital expenditures of both merging carriers and their rivals. We find substantial heterogeneity in the relationship between increases in concentration and carriers' prices. The specifics of each merger case clearly matter. Moreover, we find a positive correlation between the price and the investment effects; when the prices after merger increase (decrease), the investments increase (decrease) too. Thus, we document a trade-off between static and dynamic efficiencies of mergers.

This book was released on 2017-08-30 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1, language: English, abstract: Mergers and acquisitions are one of the most used opportunities to combine businesses and achieve growth inorganically, despite a high failure rate. The main motive during transactions is the realization of synergies. To achieve those synergies, the mechanisms of those effects need to be evoked by certain success factors during the post-merger integration. A post-merger integration that is executed incorrectly is one of the main reasons why transactions go fail and synergies are not achieved. This thesis will examine synergies and success factors for the post-merger integration of mergers and acquisitions in the technology, media and telecommunication industry, focusing on the acquisition of Time Warner Inc. by AT&T Inc. The technology, media and telecommunication industry is currently flourishing, which is evidenced by an increasing number of transactions. Nevertheless, wireless and mobile giants like AT&T are under huge pressure in their traditional barriers of business and therefore depend on a new strategy to diversify outside their traditional barriers of business. For this purpose, AT&T aims at generating further growth in the video and entertainment market through the acquisition of Time Warner. AT&T would not only increase their growth but they would also build up a second foothold since their traditional business is stagnating. AT&T will become the leader in converging technology, media and telecommunication.

Book excerpt: Research Paper from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: A, The University of Liverpool, language: English, abstract: Background Indian telecommunication industry has seen many swings in the recent past. It has remained stagnant under the government monopoly for many decades. Indian telecommunication industry has become a classical example of combination of government policies, innovation and new technology. There have been many events of mergers and acquisitions in Indian telecommunication industry in the last decade. Foreign investors and major players of telecom sector see India as one of the fastest growing telecom industry of the world. Over the last decade, many reforms have been introduced by the government, which have changed the scenario of telecom industry of India. In telecom sector, mergers and acquisition has been increasing to a great extent. Mergers and acquisitions in telecommunication industry can be driven by the development of new technology. The deregulation of telecom industry tempts the firms to offer bundle of new products and services to customers. Ongoing convergence of cable and telecom industries also tempts telecom firms to innovate products and services (Sanjoy Banka, 2006). In this way, the acquisition of products and services has become a profitable progress for telecom firms. In the world, telecommunication industry is the most developing and profitable industries of the world. Telecom sector has been considered as the most indispensible industries of the world in service sector. Different forms of communication media such as mobile phones, land line phones and internet broadband services are dealt in the telecommunication industry (Sanjoy Banka, 2006). In the recent past, swing of mergers and acquisition has been observed in the telecom sector of the world. Because of its immense importance, the proposed research is going to explore mergers and acquisitions in the te

Book Synopsis Three Essays in Empirical Industrial Organization and Merger Policy by : Chengyan Gu
Download or read book Three Essays in Empirical Industrial Organization and Merger Policy written by Chengyan Gu and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first chapter is titled "Endogenous Market Structure and Fixed-to-Mobile Competition in the U.S. Telecommunications Industry." This paper develops an empirical model to examine the intramodal and intermodal competition effects within and between the wired and wireless sectors in 1997 and 2002, a period in which wired and wireless carriers entered the local market on a large scale simultaneously. A two-step procedure is proposed to address the problem caused by the fact that wireless carriers usually make entry decisions in larger geographical regions than wired carriers. The results show that compared with national CLECs, regional CLECs and wireless carriers tend to be close competitors, as the presence of wireless carriers substantially lowers regional CLECs' margins. The intermodal competitive effect of wireless carriers on regional CLECs is much greater than their effect on national CLECs. It is also found that providing wired and wireless services together in a market does not lower a CLEC's profitability. The entry model for wireless sector shows that once the market has five wireless carriers, the next entrant has little effect on competitive conduct. The second chapter is titled "Predicting Merger Outcomes: How Accurate Are Stock Market Event Studies, Market Structure Characteristics, and Agency Decision?" a paper coauthored with John Kwoka. This paper analyzes two leading methods of predicting the outcomes of mergers, as well as the accuracy of antitrust agencies' decisions whether or not to challenge mergers. Drawing on actual price effects of forty mergers, this paper develops data on market structural characteristics, on stock market event studies, and on agency decisions. It finds that event studies systematically underpredict the incidence of anticompetitive mergers, while market structure criteria systematically overpredict competitive concerns. While these might seem to be opposing errors, market structure serves primarily as an initial screen, so that over-inclusiveness may be an optimal decision approach. The third chapter is titled "The Mergers Effects on Telephone Carriers' Efficiency: a Conditional Difference-in-Difference Approach." This paper examines the merger effects on telephone carriers' efficiency in the U.S. telecommunications industry over the period of 1996-2007. One limitation of traditional difference-in-difference (DID) approach is that if the mergers are not randomly assigned, any omitted factor that is correlated with the outcome measure as well as the probability of a merger will generate biased estimates of the impact of merger. Without the need for any instrumental variable, this paper uses a propensity score matching approach combined with DID method to address selection on both observables and unobservables associated with merger formation. The results show that mergers reduce merging carriers' incentive to innovate or invest on frontier technology, rather than lower carriers' technical efficiency. Moreover, mergers do not speed up carriers' scale efficiency progress as the carriers promised in the antitrust review processes.
Book Synopsis Captive Audience by : Susan Crawford
Download or read book Captive Audience written by Susan Crawford and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-08 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten years ago, the United States stood at the forefront of the Internet revolution. With some of the fastest speeds and lowest prices in the world for high-speed Internet access, the nation was poised to be the global leader in the new knowledge-based economy. Today that global competitive advantage has all but vanished because of a series of government decisions and resulting monopolies that have allowed dozens of countries, including Japan and South Korea, to pass us in both speed and price of broadband. This steady slide backward not only deprives consumers of vital services needed in a competitive employment and business market—it also threatens the economic future of the nation. This important book by leading telecommunications policy expert Susan Crawford explores why Americans are now paying much more but getting much less when it comes to high-speed Internet access. Using the 2011 merger between Comcast and NBC Universal as a lens, Crawford examines how we have created the biggest monopoly since the breakup of Standard Oil a century ago. In the clearest terms, this book explores how telecommunications monopolies have affected the daily lives of consumers and America's global economic standing.

Book Synopsis Higher Prices Expected from the Cingular/At&T Wireless Merger by : Lawrence J. Spiwak
Download or read book Higher Prices Expected from the Cingular/At&T Wireless Merger written by Lawrence J. Spiwak and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This POLICY BULLETIN examines the potential impact of the proposed Cingular/AT&T Wireless merger on both (a) the performance in the national wireless industry; and (b) the potential for wireless "intermodal" competition with fixed line service. After performing both an event study and merger simulation of the proposed merger, this POLICY BULLETIN finds that wireless industry prices will rise by approximately eight percent (8%) and consumer surplus will fall by about $5 billion annually. As a result, to the limited extent wireless and wireline services may be economic substitutes, they will be less so following the merger as wireless prices rise. Economics further indicates that to the extent there is intermodal competition, the cross-service ownership of wireline and wireless carriers will promote further price increases not measured by the merger simulation as carriers internalize demand feedback between substitute services.

Download or read book Global Investments for Sustainable Growth in the Wireless Telecommunication Industry written by Osamu Matsuda (M.B.A.) and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (cont.) In the past, DoCoMo acquired a minority stake in several wireless telecom operators in developed countries for the purpose of expanding its W-CDMA and i-mode platforms (developed by DoCoMo) but not for pursuing returns on its investment. In contrast, Vodafone, DoCoMo's chief rival telecom operator, acquired a majority stake in several wireless telecom operators in order to expand the scope and scale of its business and to pursue synergy effects. DoCoMo's present basic strategy can be defined as a technology-driven policy, while Vodafone's basic strategy focuses on financial matters as a finance-driven policy. In this thesis, I analyze the global strategies of these two wireless telecom operators, comparing their respective technology-driven policy and finance-driven policy. I present a philosophy and methodology for a global investment strategy that will creates future sustainable growth for DoCoMo. Finally, I examine specific investment candidates who could bolster the implementation of the new strategy.
