Economic Analysis
With a comprehensive database and vast market data, CDC is in an advantageous position to conduct a thorough economic analysis of cartel damages and provide well-founded conclusions of market-wide effects from cartel impact as well as the amount of damage suffered by individual companies. When cooperating with CDC, damaged companies profit from this fully integrated economic analysis with a company-specific estimate of damages.
Establishing the theory of harm
In all of our cases, we prepare a state-of-the-art economic analysis that integrates all data with economic and statistical knowledge to develop a coherent theory of harm. In this respect, CDC cooperates with renowned academics who are recognised as leading experts in the field of industrial economics and econometrics. Our econometric and economic analysis aims at establishing a theory of harm that is concise and understandable, particularly for judges.
