“…The purpose of the SSNIP test is to identify the narrowest group of products (or geographic area) where the hypothetical monopolist could profitably implement the small (5-10%) but significant and more permanent (up to 1 year) price increase of its own product. The relevant product market question asks to what degree customers will substitute away from the product in response to the price increase (Pittman 2017). The procedure is basically iterative in nature and starts by identifying the closest substitutes for the observed product, progressively adding new products-potential substitutes, up to the point when shown that a price increase would be profitable for the hypothetical monopolist producing all products in a market defined in such manner.…”
