JEL : D42, D82, L13, L41, K21, R32This dissertation aims to provide further theoretical insight, both positive and normative, for the analysis of horizontal mergers. The first part will examine the individual private incentives to merge and some of the ensuing welfare consequences in a spatial framework.The first chapter will review the theoretical literature dealing with horizontal market concentration in spatial models. The second chapter focuses on the impact of optimal postmerger location choice for merger profitability. Chapter three examines instead in a spatial setting the profitability link between acquisition and de-acquisition, given the possibility to optimally locate ex-post. The second part of the dissertation analyses the stra...
