Antitrust & Competition

Modern antitrust litigation virtually always involves extensive statistical and econometric analysis.

Cirque Analytics is routinely called upon to develop and present sophisticated statistical and econometric analysis for clients, policy-makers, and courts. In recent antitrust cases, Cirque has utilized econometric methods to estimate overcharges on prices paid by class members, establish pass-through throughout complex supply chains, and determine the the effect of anticompetitive conduct on output or production decisions.

Analysis of Complex Survey Data

The proper design, implementation, and analysis of surveys can be a key asset in many business decisions and litigation contexts. Understanding how to frame the research question and align the survey methodology to the research question of interest requires expertise in areas of questionnaire design, survey design methodology, sampling as well as analysis of complex survey data. Through statistical sampling and survey techniques, parties can gain insight into key issues related to management decisions, discrimination, product or service quality, and consumer preferences, choices, and willingness to pay. When properly designed, survey methods can add value to virtually any area of inquiry, ranging from marketing strategies to litigation, including class actions, antitrust and intellectual property, mass torts and labor disputes.

Cirque Analytics assists its clients in making informed decisions by leveraging its expertise in survey methodology, statistical methods, market research, and data analytics to create and implement surveys that can effectively isolate relevant economic factors and influences for use in determining liability, quantifying damages, or making other strategic decisions. Our deep knowledge and experience allows us to both design sophisticated surveys (across all modes of data collection, including mail, telephone, Internet, and text messaging), complex samples and models that meet the requirements for use in legal settings, and identify the flaws and weaknesses in poorly-designed instruments. Cirque’s experts have delivered testimony in deposition and trial on survey methods at the Federal and state level and have extensive publication records in peer-reviewed journals on the subject.

Cirque Analytics has a team of experts with experience to estimate the economic value of consumer choices through conjoint analysis. Through the rigorous application of best practices in the design of conjoint studies, econometrics, and statistical models to conjoint analysis, we provide clients valuable insights into key issues pertaining to consumer preferences, choices, and willingness to pay.

Our deep knowledge and experience allow us to identify the flaws and weaknesses in poorly designed survey instruments within the requirements of a legal setting. Our experience can address issues related to conjoint analysis at various phases of litigation, including class certification, liability, and damages.

In addition, our damages experts often utilize the outputs of properly designed and rigorously tested conjoint surveys in determining issues related to class certification and the assessment of economic damages. For instance, in false advertising, price premium, and trademark matters, our experts have often either incorporated the findings of properly designed and rigorously tested conjoint studies to consider analysis of damages, or have critiqued purported conjoint analysis that fails to adhere to the scientific rigor required by legal standards.
