Dear IO Program Members,

                I am attaching a paper, "Market Definition and the Merger Guidelines," that I thought you might find of interest because of its arguments against ever using the market (re)definition method and its demonstration that, in particular, the Hypothetical Monopolist Test in the Guidelines is problematic in ways that are not appreciated. I welcome any feedback.

Best,
Louis
