NERA Director Dr. Mark Williams spoke at the IBC conference on the use of economics in competition law at the Meridien Hotel in Brussels on 22-23 March 2006. This established annual event brings together leading experts in competition policy economics to discuss founding principles as well as the very latest developments in antitrust economics. This year's edition featured a keynote address by Philip Lowe, and the key topics included the economics of unilateral and coordinated effects, the Article 102 (formerly Article 82) reform and the recently issued draft guidelines, damages estimation, and issues at the interface of intellectual property (IP) and competition. Dr. Williams presented on the second day and discussed damages in the context of Article 102 infringements. The presentation in particular analyzed economic causality from abuse to harm, and the role of the "equally efficient competitor test."
