Merger simulation in markets with homogeneous product and spatial differentiation

supported by TAČR grant TL02000122 | for the Office for the Protection of Competition | with Rostislav Staněk and Ondřej Krčál

We developed software MergerSim to analyze fuel market mergers for the Czech Competition Authority. It forecasts price changes (overall and at specific stations) and recommends obligations to maintain competition. This tool aids decision-making in a market prone to mergers. The software is implemented in the R computing environment.

Collusion detection in public procurement

This project delivered a methodology and software for the OCA to uncover collusion in public procurement. The system pinpoints suspect contracts and sectors, and the methodology guides the OCA in gathering additional evidence for formal investigations.
