About

The Competition and Markets Authority awarded a contract to Lear for an external research and evaluation project on approaches to assessing potential competition theories of harm and evaluating past merger decisions in the technology sector.

The project aimed to draw lessons from economic theory and literature on technology markets and from reviews of past technology merger decisions to inform the CMA's assessment of the impact of potential competition and the likelihood that the potential would be realised in future technology merger cases.

The contract value was £130,000.
