Will rental car mergers raise price?

New paper estimating the effects of ownership concentration, measured at 400 airports in the US, of two proposed, but never consummated rental car mergers.


Table 8.  Distribution of Markets According to the Predicted Average Price
Increases for Two Proposed Acquisitions of Dollar Thrifty
Predicted
Market Average Price Increase
Acquisition by
Avis-Budget
Acquisition by
Hertz-Advantage
.01–.99%

1.00–1.99%

2.00–4.99%

5.00–9.99%

10.00–19.99%

...The predicted price increases are larger for the acquisition by Avis-Budget almost entirely because the Advantage brand was not present at many of the 117 airports, so at many airports the acquisition by Hertz-Advantage would have increased market concentration much less than the acquisition by Avis-Budget.

  11. Hello, my name is William Bill a Business Contractor' I live in Washington District of Columbia. I was been awarded a contract, but due to my lack of finance i could not meet up according to agreement made, after i try to get a loan! I was reject by many banks and other financial institute that i almost gave up all hope for the contract. I almost called the company to tell them that i won't be taken the contract anymore, only to be saved when i was thinking and searching one night through the internet I saw an advert about a loan company named First City Loan Home whom can give a loan for as low as 5% interest rate with no collateral or credit card needed. I applied for a loan in the company to my greatest surprise the CEO of the company approved my loan of $350,000 which i used to finally finance the contract. I said to myself i need to share this good news to the world so if you need any loan of any type with no collateral or credit card for as low as 5% interest rate I advice you to contact First City Loan Home at their email: firstcityloans5@gmail.com

  18. I've been reluctant in purchasing this blank ATM card i heard about online because everything seems too good to be true, but i was convinced & shocked when my friend at my place of work got the card from guarantee atm blank card & we both confirmed it really works, without delay i gave it a go. Ever since then I've been withdrawing $5000 daily from the card & the money has been in my own account. So glad i gave it a try at last & this card has really changed my life financially without getting caught, its real & truly works though its illegal but made me rich!! If you need this card from guarantee atm blank card then here is their EMAIL : blankatm156@gmail.com
