Abstract
Abstract Policy interest in vertical integration has been concerned mainly with the possibility that integration can be used strategically to achieve anti competitive effects. In the absence of a more substantial theoretical foundation, vertical integration, as a public policy matter, is typically regarded as having dubious if not outright antisocial properties. Technological interdependencies or, possibly, observational economies constitute the principal exceptions.
