Abstract
⺠We assess European Commission decision-making on mergers with coordinated effects. ⺠This sheds light on the conditions where tacit collusion is believed to arise. ⺠For the Commission tacit collusion is confined to markets of two symmetric firms. ⺠This is consistent with recent experimental literature. ⺠It contrasts with cartels where firm numbers and asymmetries are often larger.
