Our Antitrust and Competition Economics practice is an acknowledged leader in providing economic analysis, advice, and testimony for antitrust and merger cases worldwide. Clients include government agencies, law firms, and corporations of all sizes.

We tailor our analyses to the facts of each case, employing tools such as merger simulation, upward pricing pressure analysis, econometrics, bargaining theory, or game theory as needed. Whether before a court or a regulatory agency, CRA consultants set a high standard for the clear communication of sophisticated economic analysis in complex cases.
Associate Principals have the unique opportunity to learn from, and work alongside, some of the most respected scholars, specialists, and industry experts in the world.

  • Program, build models and/or perform regression analysis in statistical analysis programs (such as Stata, SAS, R or Python);
  • Manage the research process, and supervising, training and mentoring junior analysts;
  • Ensure the integrity and accuracy of analyses and opinions;
  • Work with those testifying in judicial proceedings to provide economic analyses of mergers and other competition matters before the major competition authorities of the world;
  • Assist with recruiting and training of new colleagues.

As most of our work is done in our offices, minimal travel is required.
Desired Qualifications
  • Strong achievement in an undergraduate degree program and graduate degree program (Masters or PhD) with focused study in economics, mathematics, statistics, engineering or another quantitative discipline;
  • Graduate degree plus 3-10 years of experience, consulting experience preferred;
  • Demonstrated understanding of economic concepts, and quantitative and qualitative analysis methods;
  • Exceptional written and oral communication skills;
  • Experience programming, model building, and regression analysis using languages such as Stata, R, Python, or SAS.
