CONSULTING

In his capacity as an economic expert, Johannes Paha has been consulting companies across all areas of competition economics since 2008, seamlessly integrating his scholarly expertise into case work.

Initially focusing his research on collusion, he has amassed extensive experience in cartel damages cases, advising both claimants and plaintiffs across various sectors. Johannes brings a unique perspective to his consultancy by combining deep knowledge in game theoretic industry analysis with robust econometric skills. He leverages structural regression approaches grounded in a thorough understanding of industry dynamics and data availability, with his practical auditing experience often proving invaluable.

Johannes has published on antitrust compliance and is the editor of a volume on Competition Law Compliance Programmes (Springer). His risk-based approach has been frequently presented to authorities and practitioners, underscoring his role as a trusted advisor in the field. 

"It is important to me implementing compliance measures on the basis of a thorough risk assessment, and doing this assessment efficiently using information already collected for management purposes."

Johannes has had the privilege of consulting companies in merger cases and regarding the alleged abuse of a dominant position. His current work focuses on vertical restraints in consumer goods industries and the assessment of sustainability efficiencies. Teaching courses on various aspects of economic policy, including antitrust, public finance, trade, development, and environmental economics, has complemented his long-standing interest in European state aid control. Furthermore, his expertise makes him a valuable independent economic expert for courts seeking informed advice.
