摘要

行业成熟通常涉及集中过程，这是对竞争加剧的自然反应。这就是移动通信行业的情况。国内并购在过去几年有所增加。虽然现有文献已经分析了其他老行业的集中过程，但最近的移动通信行业受到的关注较少。本研究旨在分析国内并购作为一种长期竞争机制的作用。我们回顾了2000年至2015年43个欧洲市场移动运营商之间的所有国内合并。通过对26起国内并购的分析，本研究发现，国内并购不仅对参与者的市场力量有直接影响，而且对竞争的演变也有长期影响。我们观察到，由于新竞争者的进入和监管机构的干预等因素，国内并购减缓了2000年至2015年发生的竞争加剧。

SI NO PUEDES CON TU ENEMIGO, ÚNETE A ÉL: ANÁLISIS DE LAS FUSIONES EN EL SECTOR EUROPEO DE LA TELEFONÍA MÓVIL

Industry maturity usually involves concentration processes as natural reactions towards competition intensification. This is the case of the mobile telecommunications industry. Domestic mergers have increased during the last years. Although existing literature has analyzed concentration processes in other older industries, the more recent industry of mobile telecommunications has received less attention. This study aims to analyze the role of domestic mergers as a competitive mechanism in the long term. We have reviewed all domestic mergers between mobile operators in 43 European markets from 2000 to 2015. After identifying 26 domestic mergers, this study observes that they not only have immediate effects in the market power of participants, domestic mergers also influence the evolution of rivalry in the long term. We observe that domestic mergers slow down the increase of competition that has taken place from 2000 to 2015 as a consequence of factors such as the entry of new competitors and regulators’ intervention.
