ABA micro.Economics Series: Diversion Ratios and Gross Upward Pricing Pressure Indices

Share

Ildikó Magyari of Cornerstone Research discusses diversion ratios (DRs) and Gross Upward Pricing Pressure Indices (GUPPIs) as part of a video series produced by the American Bar Association (ABA) Antitrust Law Section’s Economics Committee.

micro.Economics is a short-form, prerecorded series by the ABA featuring twelve episodes designed to explain fundamental antitrust economics concepts—such as critical loss analysis, merger simulations, and correlation versus causation—in ten-minute lectures.

In episode 8, Dr. Magyari discusses the theoretical and conceptual underpinning of DRs and GUPPIs –fundamental tools that economists use to assess the competitive effect of horizontal mergers – as well as their practical application in merger litigation.

Episode details are available at the ABA website.
