Outline of Final Research Achievements

Equity joint ventures may have different features from mergers and acquisitions which result in single firm. In particular, they may induce competition-restricting effects through cooperative behavior between their parent firms. In US and EU, although the establishment of joint venture firms is in principle approved following the structural remedy consideration, the past experiences suggest that in practice there are more cases in which both structural and behavioral remedies have been applied.
On the other hand in Japan, the content of remedy is not clearly explained, and in practice remedy has been no enforced. In such policy situation, many joint ventures have been approved. Also, in particular large diversified firms, parent firms, frequently separated from their corporation and then integrated their respective whole division of the same business as joint venture. Then there may be larger antitrust concern.
