Econometrics Expert Witnesses

Econometrics disputes in complex commercial litigation typically arise when a case requires rigorous statistical modeling to establish or rebut claims about market behavior, damages, or causation, questions common to antitrust, securities, and class action litigation. These disputes surface in antitrust matters where economists model whether alleged anticompetitive conduct affected prices or output, in securities litigation requiring event studies to isolate the market impact of an alleged misrepresentation, and in class certification disputes where the propriety of common statistical methods for proving classwide impact is contested. Because econometric models depend on data selection, specification choices, and statistical assumptions that can be built in different defensible ways, reasonable economists applying accepted techniques to the same data can reach different conclusions. The central issue is typically whether the econometric model and underlying data support the causal or quantitative claim it is being used to prove.

An econometrics expert helps attorneys evaluate that question by constructing or critiquing statistical models that isolate the effect of the conduct or event at issue from other factors that might explain the observed outcome. That might mean building a regression model to estimate but-for prices in an antitrust case, conducting an event study to measure a stock's abnormal returns following an alleged disclosure in a securities matter, or evaluating whether a proposed damages methodology can reliably measure classwide impact for certification purposes. These findings support positions on liability, causation, damages, and class certification, and often anticipate the modeling choices an opposing econometrics expert is likely to challenge.

Econometrics cases benefit from experts whose specific applied background, whether antitrust economics, financial econometrics, or labor and program evaluation, matches the precise statistical question at issue rather than econometrics in general terms. Round Table Group's econometrics network includes scholars and industry professionals in finance, economic theory, forecasting, and risk management, many of whom are prolific authors and frequent conference speakers with direct experience applying econometric methods to litigation-specific questions. With more than 75,000 expert searches completed for litigators, we help attorneys match a case's specific econometric issue to an expert whose modeling will withstand scrutiny under cross-examination.

Kinds of Cases We Work On

Round Table Group helps our clients find a wide variety of Econometrics expert witnesses for cases like:

01

Cartel Overcharge Damages.

A direct-purchaser distributor sued a group of component manufacturers alleging a price-fixing conspiracy had inflated its purchase costs significantly over several years. We identified experts with experience in industrial organization economics, cartel damages modeling, and multiple regression analysis. The econometrician's regression model isolated the conspiracy period's price effect from cost and demand factors, anchoring a substantial damages award at trial.
02

Merger Market Definition Challenge

A regional competitor sued to block a proposed merger between two national suppliers, alleging the combined firm would dominate a properly defined product market representing a significant share of national sales. We identified experts with experience in industrial organization, antitrust market definition, and critical loss analysis. The econometrician's critical loss analysis supported a narrower relevant market than the merging parties proposed, contributing to the court's decision to enjoin the merger.
03

Fraud-on-the-Market Event Study

An institutional investment fund sued a publicly traded company for securities fraud after a restatement wiped out a significant share of its market value, and the parties disputed how much of the decline was attributable to the alleged misstatements. We identified experts with experience in financial econometrics, event study methodology, and securities damages modeling. The econometrician's event study isolated the stock's abnormal price movement from broader market and industry effects, anchoring the fund's damages claim.
04

Earnout Metric Dispute.

A buyer and the former owners of an acquired software company disputed a sizable earnout payment tied to post-closing revenue growth, with the outcome turning on how growth was measured against the deal's baseline. We identified experts with experience in econometric forecasting, time-series analysis, and contract-metric regression modeling. The econometrician's regression analysis found the buyer's post-closing product bundling changes had distorted the revenue attribution used to calculate the earnout, supporting the sellers' claim for the full payment.
05

Franchise Tying Antitrust Dispute.

A regional franchisee group sued its franchisor alleging an illegal tying arrangement forced franchisees to purchase supplies at above-market prices, driving up costs across its stores by a meaningful margin. We identified experts with experience in industrial organization, antitrust economics, and price-markup regression analysis. The econometrician's regression comparison against open-market supplier pricing quantified the overcharge attributable to the tying arrangement, anchoring the franchisees' damages claim.
06

Patent Royalty Conjoint Analysis.

A component patent holder sued a device manufacturer for infringement, and the parties disputed how much of the accused product's substantial sales volume was attributable to the patented feature. We identified experts with experience in econometrics, conjoint analysis, and reasonable-royalty damages modeling. The econometrician's conjoint survey and regression analysis isolated consumer willingness to pay for the patented feature, supporting the royalty rate applied in the damages award.
07

Trade Secret Value Event Study.

A publicly traded specialty manufacturer sued a former joint-venture partner after learning proprietary process data had been used to launch a competing product line, and the parties disputed the resulting harm to the manufacturer's market value. We identified experts with experience in financial econometrics, event study analysis, and corporate valuation. The econometrician's event study measured the abnormal decline in the manufacturer's stock price following disclosure of the misappropriation, anchoring a significant damages claim in arbitration.
08

Distribution Termination Lost-Sales Forecast.

A regional distributor sued a manufacturer for wrongful termination of an exclusive distribution agreement, seeking lost profits for the agreement's remaining term. We identified experts with experience in econometric forecasting, time-series regression, and but-for sales modeling. The econometrician's regression model, built on the distributor's pre-termination sales trend and regional market growth, projected lost profits that the arbitration panel adopted largely as presented.
09

Antitrust Class Certification Dispute.

A defendant equipment manufacturer challenged class certification in an indirect-purchaser antitrust suit, arguing the plaintiffs could not show common classwide impact from the alleged overcharge, in a case carrying substantial potential exposure. We identified experts with experience in econometrics, antitrust damages methodology, and regression-based common impact analysis. The econometrician's regression model demonstrated statistically significant overcharge effects common to the proposed class, supporting certification.
10

Predatory Pricing Cost Analysis.

A regional carrier sued a national competitor alleging it priced routes below cost to drive the smaller carrier from the market, seeking substantial damages. We identified experts with experience in industrial organization, cost-based antitrust analysis, and average variable cost modeling. The econometrician's cost analysis found the competitor's pricing on the contested routes remained above average variable cost throughout the period, defeating the predatory pricing claim.
