• Module IV‐1: "Handling Merger Investigations"
  This module addresses handling merger investigations, drawing upon concepts from the modules on market definition and market power in the merger context. The video uses a hypothetical merger to demonstrate the practical techniques agencies use to investigate a merger, including how to plan a merger investigation and how to obtain and evaluate relevant evidence.
• Module IV-2:  Merger Remedies
  This module focuses on merger remedies. It explores the principles underlying the need for and identification of remedies appropriate to the anticompetitive concerns in a particular case and addresses more common practical considerations such as timing, elements of the remedy package, challenges in identifying effective buyers, international coordination, and ‘after the fact’ monitoring and compliance.
