CET technical workshop on merger guidelines
On 12 November 2025, Fiona M. Scott Morton participated in a closed-door technical workshop on the merger review process, organised by the European Commission's Chief Economist's Team (CET). The workshop consisted of two sessions, the first dedicated to the economic assessment of dynamic merger effects (concerning topics such as the innovation theory of harm and entrenchment) and the second to an economic assessment of non-horizontal mergers.
