Economic analysis has become central to competition enforcement across the EU and national jurisdictions.
Competition authorities and courts are moving away from formalistic legal approaches toward more effects-based assessments, where decisions focus on how conduct influences competition, consumers, and market outcomes in practice.
Concurrences released an insightful Special Issue on Economic Analysis in Competition Law, examining how economic analysis is shaping enforcement and judicial review in the areas of mergers, unilateral anticompetitive conduct, anticompetitive agreements, State Aid, and other policy areas.
The special issue opens with Elina Koustoumpardi and Mariam Arutyunyan’s foreword, which highlights the critical role of economic analysis, the prioritization of effects-based enforcement, and the heightened need for experts and evidence, using real cases and developments.
