<br>
Antitrust analysis has changed significantly during the past two decades. For
example, merger analysis may focus on unilateral effects or employ computer simulations,
and monopolization cases may allege exclusionary conduct in the form of market-share
discounts, all-or-nothing contracts, or bundling. Finally, antitrust matters
are increasingly global in scope, involving multiple antitrust authorities. <br>
<br>
<span class="mstyle">M</span>iCRA’s economists have the knowledge and experience to help clients navigate
the changing waters of competition policy and enforcement. Many served as staff
economists or managers at the DOJ, the FTC,
the FCC, or other enforcement agencies. As consultants,
our economists have worked with private parties, federal and state agencies,
and trade associations regarding the competitive effects of mergers, pricing
policies, and other business practices in a wide range of industry contexts.
They have also made presentations before state, federal, and European competition
authorities and have provided expert testimony in arbitrations and in federal
and state courts. Cases in which our economists testified successfully include
such high-profile matters as <a href="#" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('../cases/key_cases/USvsMicrosoft.html','','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=525,height=300')"><em>U.S.
