Introduction: "The objective of this paper is to compare merger control enforcement across a number of major jurisdictions around the world." " This paper seeks to examine the statistical evidence for common questions or assumptions about merger control, for instance: • Are the jurisdictional thresholds and volume of notifications proportionate to the size of the economy? • Is there any material difference between jurisdictions as to the likelihood of mergers being referred for a second-phase investigation? • Is there any material difference between jurisdictions as to the likelihood of mergers being prohibited or requiring remedies?
• Where mergers have been referred to a second phase, is there any statistical evidence that certain jurisdictions more than others suffer from “confirmation bias”, ie that the authority has effectively “made up its mind” at the referral stage?"
