While research using stock prices has rejected the hypothesis that market power is important in motivating horizontal mergers, studies of airfares find evidence consistent with a dominant role of market power in airline mergers. The author integrates the two lines of research by examining the same set of airline mergers from a capital market viewpoint. Further, he links changes in the stock market to changes in the product market, presenting a dual market perspective. The author concludes that airline mergers result in both increased market power and more efficient operations. The article has implications for antitrust policy.
