BIO
Johannes Paha is professor of economics at the University of Bremen, a Privatdozent at Justus-Liebig-University Giessen, and a Research Associate at the Center for Competition Law and Economics at Stellenbosch University, South Africa. Previously, he held positions as an interim professor at Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Hohenheim University, Potsdam University, and Johannes-Kepler-University Linz. He was awarded a fellowship by the Center for Interdisciplinary Research at Bielefeld University and conducted research, for example, at Johns-Hopkins-University Baltimore and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
The results of his research on collusion and competition law compliance have been published in renowned journals such as The Journal of Industrial Economics. He is the editor of a book on competition law compliance. His current focus is on sustainability in antitrust, exploring pressing questions like: Which public funding programs are most effective in expanding the charging infrastructure for electric cars? To what extent are there duplicative efforts in innovations for fiber-optic infrastructure? And how can electricity from renewable resources avoid electricity shortages in South Africa? In addition to his prolific publication record, Johannes Paha has been featured in numerous interviews and reports in news media. He is frequently invited to present his insightful research to authorities and at business conferences, further highlighting his expertise and impact in the field.
He has extensive experience consulting companies across all areas of competition policy, including cartel damages cases, alleged abuse of a dominant position, and merger control. His industry expertise spans a wide range, from industrial products (elevators, trucks, paper) and fast-moving consumer goods, to service industries (postal, logistics, insurance) and digital platforms. His deep understanding of competition economics, combined with his practical consulting experience, positions him as a highly competent and reliable advisor for businesses navigating complex competition issues. Furthermore, his expertise makes him a valuable independent economic expert for courts seeking informed advice.
