The Changing Role of Economics in Merger Control: Perspectives from the US and Europe
New York, New York
2 June 2009
Hosted By: NERA Economic Consulting
Global deals require global antitrust clearance, and that clearance invariably involves Washington, Brussels, and economics. In this NERA seminar, two leading antitrust experts offered perspectives from both sides of the Atlantic on what US counsel needs to know about the fast-evolving role of economics in merger control in these jurisdictions and beyond. NERA Special Consultant Dr. Michael Baye, until recently Director of the Bureau of Economics at the US Federal Trade Commission, and Dr. Mark Williams, who leads NERA's European Competition Policy practice in London and Brussels, joined to give their insights into how economics informs antitrust clearance -- and how the role of economics is being transformed in the US and the EU. Senior Vice President Dr. Ramsey Shehadeh, one of NERA's foremost experts on US merger control, moderated the session.
