More Description* John Connor describes and evaluates the results of his extensive survey of reports of cartel overcharges. * Dennis Weisman models the price effects of mergers that not only increase concentration in the relevant market but also increase the merged firms' participation in other, complementary markets. * Malcolm Coate and Mark Williams develop a superior method for calculating critical loss in markets that are relatively homogenous and competitive premerger. * Zhiqi Chen surveys recent developments in economic theories of buyer power and creates a general framework for antitrust analysis. * Thomas J.
