Resale Price Maintenance: An Economic Study of the FTC's Case Against Corning Glass Works (January 1994) (PDF File)
By Pauline M Ippolito and Thomas R Overstreet Jr. According to the FTC, this study "is intended to help increase understanding of the economic motivation for RPM when the products at issue are relatively simple goods that do not fit the most well-known efficiency rationales for the practice."

Case Studies of the Price Effects of Horizontal Mergers (April 1992) (PDF File)
By Robert P Rogers and James D Reitzes. According to the FTC, this study "examines the aftermath of mergers in three industries: titanium dioxide, cement, and corrugated paperboard. The study finds a mixture of results with likely pro-competitive outcomes in cement and paperboard, and a potentially large anti-competitive outcome in titanium dioxide (depending on the model specification)."
