Coordinated effects are harms that arise because a merger increases the risk of coordination. A firm is called a “maverick” if its acquisition puts an otherwise competitive market at risk of coordination. The notions of coordinated effects and mavericks fare prominently in antitrust but have proved elusive to formalize. Modeling coordination as selection schemes, we provide clear-cut definitions of and tests for both that only require pre-merger data. Risk for coordinated effects varies with the price formation process. A maverick-based approach is useful for Cournot, but requires refinements for procurement-based markets. HHI increases do not reliably predict coordinated effects.
