Padrão de prova aplicável à demonstração de eficiências económicas no âmbito da análise de atos de concentração
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the Standard of proof applicable to efficiency allegations in merger control cases. Since the 1960's, especially after the works of Williamson and Bork, as well as the theories of the Chicago School in general, competition law has granted the efficiency defense for parties seeking the approval of a potentially harmful merger, even if subject to restrictions.
However, there is uncertainty about what evidences the parties must present to the competition authority in order to sufficiently demonstrate the efficiency of their transaction.
