Nicola Giocoli has written REJECTED! ANTITRUST ECONOMISTS AS EXPERT WITNESSES IN THE POST-DAUBERT WORLD.
ABSTRACT: Economists regularly appear as expert witnesses in antitrust litigations.

Some explanations for the economists’ troubles when facing a Daubert challenge in antitrust cases are provided.
