Economics Expert Witnesses

Economics disputes in complex commercial litigation typically arise when a case requires rigorous economic analysis to establish or rebut claims about market behavior, competitive effects, or business valuation. These disputes surface in antitrust litigation over whether alleged anticompetitive conduct affected market prices, output, or competition, in commercial damages litigation requiring economic modeling of lost profits or business value, and in regulatory and international trade matters requiring economic analysis of market structure, pricing, or trade impacts. Because economic analysis involves modeling choices about market definition, causation, and counterfactual scenarios that reasonable economists can approach differently, the central issue is typically whether the economic analysis and underlying model at issue reliably support the claim it is being used to prove.

An economics expert helps attorneys evaluate that question by applying accepted economic methodologies to the market, damages, or regulatory issue at issue. That might mean constructing an antitrust economic model to assess whether alleged conduct affected competition and prices, building a damages model to quantify lost profits or business value using accepted economic techniques, or analyzing market structure and trade data relevant to a regulatory or international trade dispute. These findings support positions on antitrust liability, commercial damages, and regulatory compliance, giving attorneys an economically grounded basis for litigation strategy.

Economics cases benefit from experts whose specific background, whether industrial organization and antitrust economics, applied microeconomics and damages, or macroeconomics and international trade, matches the precise economic question at issue rather than economics in general terms. Round Table Group's economics network includes scholars and industry professionals with expertise spanning antitrust, development economics, natural resource economics, and finance. With more than 75,000 expert searches completed for litigators, we help attorneys match a case's specific economics issue to an expert whose credentials will withstand scrutiny. Let us help you find the right economics expert for your case by calling us at (202) 908-4500.

Kinds of Cases We Work On

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

01

Priced to Lose Money on Purpose.

A regional carrier sued a larger competitor for predatory pricing after the competitor slashed fares below cost on overlapping routes for an extended period, driving the smaller carrier from several markets before raising prices again. We identified experts with experience in predatory pricing economic analysis, average variable cost measurement, and airline market definition. The expert's cost analysis confirmed the challenged fares were priced below the competitor's own average variable cost, supporting a finding of predatory pricing and a substantial damages award.
02

The Cartel's Overcharge on Purchases.

A large industrial buyer sued several of its suppliers after evidence emerged of a years-long price-fixing arrangement, seeking to recover the resulting overcharge on a substantial volume of purchases made during the conspiracy period. We identified experts with experience in cartel overcharge estimation, econometric damages modeling, and industry pricing benchmark analysis. The expert's regression analysis comparing actual prices to a but-for competitive benchmark quantified a substantial overcharge, anchoring the damages figure in a settlement with several of the defendant suppliers.
03

A Merger Too Concentrated to Approve.

A competitor sued to block a proposed merger between two major players in a concentrated industry, arguing the combination would substantially lessen competition in several regional markets. We identified experts with experience in antitrust market definition, merger simulation modeling, and competitive effects analysis. The expert's market definition and simulation analysis found the merger would likely produce a substantial post-merger price increase in the affected regions, and the parties agreed to divest overlapping assets to resolve the challenge.
04

What the Royalty Should Have Been.

A technology company sued a competitor for patent infringement after discovering the competitor's flagship product incorporated a patented component without a license, seeking a reasonable royalty on several years of infringing sales. We identified experts with experience in patent damages economics, reasonable royalty rate analysis, and technology licensing benchmarking. The expert's application of the relevant licensing factors to comparable industry agreements supported a substantial royalty rate, and the jury's damages award closely tracked the expert's analysis.
05

Tied to Buying From One Supplier.

A regional distributor sued a manufacturer after being required, as a condition of carrying the manufacturer's flagship product line, to also purchase a separate accessory line it did not want, alleging an unlawful tying arrangement that foreclosed competition in the accessory market. We identified experts with experience in antitrust tying arrangement analysis, market foreclosure measurement, and product market definition. The expert's analysis found the tying arrangement foreclosed a substantial share of the accessory market to competitors, supporting the distributor's claim in a substantial settlement.
06

Not the Same Price for Everyone.

A regional retailer sued its supplier for price discrimination after discovering a larger competing retailer had received substantially better pricing on functionally identical products without any cost justification, undercutting the smaller retailer's ability to compete. We identified experts with experience in price discrimination economic analysis, cost justification assessment, and competitive injury measurement. The expert's analysis found no legitimate cost basis for the pricing disparity, supporting the retailer's claim in a substantial settlement.
07

Terminated for Discounting Below Minimum Price.

A distributor sued a manufacturer after being cut off from a product line for selling below the manufacturer's suggested resale price, alleging the manufacturer's minimum pricing policy amounted to an unlawful vertical price restraint that harmed competition among its distributors. We identified experts with experience in vertical restraint antitrust analysis, resale price maintenance economic effects, and interbrand and intrabrand competition assessment. The expert's analysis found the pricing policy suppressed intrabrand price competition without an offsetting procompetitive justification, supporting the distributor's claim through trial testimony.
08

Only One Buyer Left Standing.

A cooperative representing regional agricultural producers sued the dominant processor in their market for monopsony practices after the processor used its buyer power to depress the prices paid to producers well below competitive levels. We identified experts with experience in monopsony power analysis, agricultural commodity market economics, and buyer concentration measurement. The expert's analysis found the processor's market share and conduct were consistent with the exercise of monopsony power, and the case settled with a substantial payment to the cooperative's members.
09

Bundled Software Without a Choice.

A software competitor sued a dominant platform company alleging it had illegally tied a separate software product to its widely used operating platform, foreclosing competition in the tied product's market. We identified experts with experience in software market tying analysis, platform competition economics, and technology market definition. The expert's analysis found the bundling practice foreclosed a substantial share of the tied product's addressable market, supporting the competitor's claim in a substantial settlement.
10

Frozen Out by the Group.

A specialty distributor sued a trade association and several of its dominant members after being denied access to a jointly operated distribution network, alleging the exclusion amounted to a group boycott that foreclosed it from a substantial share of the market. We identified experts with experience in group boycott and concerted refusal to deal analysis, market foreclosure measurement, and joint venture competitive effects assessment. The expert's analysis found the exclusion lacked a legitimate business justification and foreclosed the distributor from a substantial share of the relevant market, supporting the claim in arbitration.
