Antitrust Surveys and Competition Analysis

Antitrust Surveys and Competition Analysis

NERA has designed surveys used in matters ranging from unfair competition cases to merger cases. Surveys can be useful to define the market, allocate market shares, and determine the impact of product bundling. A well-designed survey can also produce empirical evidence on the substitutability of products or services for consumers. We have presented evidence before both the FTC and European Commission in a number of matters, including original survey evidence and critiques of opposing survey and sample designs.
