摘要
The aim of our article is to investigate whether there exists a relevant product market narrower than beer. We use multilevel budget LA-AIDS model to estimate the demand elasticities of the biggest beer brands and selected beer segments on US scanner data. We then perform a critical loss analysis to investigate if the proposed segments constitute separate relevant markets. Results of our paper can be helpful to competition authorities in their assessment of future mergers in the beer industry.
