Antitrust studies
We study market conditions and commercial practices of companies to evaluate the existence of anticompetitive behaviors - such as abuse of dominance and collusion -, analyze the possible effects on competition of mergers and acquisitions processes, or, to establish guidelines that companies should continue to avoid engaging in potentially anti-competitive practices.
As part of these assignments, we identify the possible effects of these behaviors on the market price and consumer welfare are, in order to estimate a possible applicable sanction and the economic damage caused.
We have carried out studies in Peru, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic on more than 20 cases of price agreement, market distribution, price discrimination, exclusivity contracts, vertical restrictions, unjustified refusals of treatment, predatory prices, merger control in the electricity sector, as well as studies for the diagnosis of commercial practices and guidelines for compliance with free competition regulations.
