Economics on Trial: Admissibility and Relevance in Competition Law Enforcement
ICLE President Geoffrey A. Manne and Case Associates Managing Partner Cento Veljanovski explored the role of economic evidence in competition-law litigation and enforcement in a discussion moderated by ICLE Intern Sabrina Pekarovic held at IE Law School in Madrid, Spain.
This ICLE seminar brought together two perspectives: one focused on the admissibility and evidentiary standards applied to economic analyses in court, and the other examining the broader relevance of economic reasoning in shaping enforcement decisions. At a time when the relevance of economics in antitrust law is being contested, these discussions aim to illuminate both the practical challenges and the theoretical implications of integrating economics into the legal framework of competition law, and the consequences of not doing so.
