The methodology followed consists of a statistical analysis of the cases of M&A evaluated from 1999 until 2019. The evolution of the number of cases, the evaluation results, and the procedures’ duration are analyzed. Also, a comparison is made between the legislation in Argentina and Brazil, which will allow an understanding of the implication of different M&A control designs on the authority’s performance. The study of both experiences allows outlining the possible difficulties that could face countries that are in an early stage within the design of M&A control. Este trabajo analiza el desempeño de la autoridad de competencia en el ámbito del control de fusiones y adquisiciones (F&A) en Argentina y Brasil. La metodología seguida consiste en un análisis estadístico de los casos de F&A evaluadas desde 1999 hasta 2019. En particular, se analiza la evolución de la cantidad de casos, el resultado de la evaluación y la duración del procedimiento. Además, se compara las legislaciones, lo que permitirá comprender la implicancia de los distintos diseños de control de F&A sobre el desempeño de la autoridad. El estudio de ambas experiencias permite delinear dificultades que podrían enfrentar países que se encuentran en una etapa temprana dentro del diseño del control de F&A. application/pdf https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/DT-IIEP/article/view/2499 spa Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política (IIEP UBA-CONICET) https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/DT-IIEP/article/view/2499/3226 Documentos de trabajo del Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política; Núm. 75 (2022): El control de concentraciones en países en desarrollo: ¿Qué podemos aprender de Argentina y Brasil? ; 1-23 Working Papers series at Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política; No. 75 (2022): Merger control in developing countries: What can we learn from Argentina and Brazil?; 1-23 2451-5728 Defensa de la competencia Políticas de competencia Fusiones y adquisiciones Indicadores cuantitativos Antitrust Competition policy Mergers and acquisitions Quantitative indicators Merger control in developing countries: What can we learn from Argentina and Brazil?
