<br>
<strong>Abigail B. Ferguson</strong> is a Ph.D. economist specializing in industrial organization and game theory applied to antitrust matters. She is both an experienced theorist and an expert data analyst.<br>
<br>
Dr. Ferguson has worked on matters involving real estate, search advertising, eBooks, music labels and semiconductors, and particularly health insurance and health care providers. Examples of her work include the following:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>Creating a managing a database of real estate transactions, estimating a difference-in-difference regression model to determine the effects of a policy on real estate commission rates
<br><br></li>
<li>Managing a large database of inpatient visits, determining the relevant geographic market for merging hospitals� products and estimating the likely price effects of a hospital merger
<br><br></li>
<li>Calibrating a simple oligopoly model of market share discounts to an industry, predicting the likely exclusion and price effects of a specific market share discount scheme
</li>
</ul>
Dr. Ferguson has a specific expertise in the area of bundled or �contingent� pricing arrangements, such as market share discounts, bundled or loyalty rebates, most-favored-nation (MFN) clauses, �no steering, no tiering� clauses (common in health care provider-payer contracts), and simple bundling and requirements tying. She has co-written white papers for the Department of Justice in this area.<br>
<br>
Before coming to MiCRA Dr. Ferguson taught introductory economics, intermediate microeconomic theory, and game theory. Her dissertation included chapters on loyalty discounts and network effects.<br>
