Antitrust Economics for Lawyers 2026 edition, published by LexisNexis and written by CRA consultants and affiliated academic experts, offers attorneys a clear, practical guide to the economic principles that shape antitrust law and enforcement.
Designed for antitrust practitioners without requiring an economics background, the book explains complex concepts in an accessible but rigorous way, pairing practical legal relevance with clearly presented economic analysis.
The new edition reflects the continued evolution of antitrust economics, with an updated discussion of merger analysis, monopoly and exclusion, and damages, as well as expanded treatment of emerging issues such as AI, monopsony, common ownership, bundling on digital platforms, and standard essential patents.
The book focuses on three main areas:
- Merger analysis: Addresses market definition, unilateral effects, coordinated effects, buyer power, and the potential role of AI-driven pricing and coordination.
- Monopoly and exclusion: Explores distribution and franchising agreements, the distinction between market power and monopoly power, bundling and tying practices, and contracts that reference rivals.
- Damages cases: Discusses econometric methods for estimating damages in price-fixing cases, class certification proceedings, and matters involving endogeneity challenges.
To learn more about the topics covered in the book, please contact Serge Moresi, a contributing author of two chapters.
