Abstract: If a damages claim is presented in court and compensation of harm suffered is sought, quantifying the level of damages suffered becomes necessary. An economically founded quantification of the damages caused by competition law infringements has increased in importance in particular through the advancement of competition law damages actions in the EU. Damages claims are increasingly brought, in particular as follow-on claims, and it is very likely that this trend will continue in the future. If a damages claim is presented in court and compensation of the harm suffered is sought, quantifying the level of the damages suffered becomes necessary. On the basis of these developments several theoretical and applied studies investigating the fundamental economic principles and empirical-econometric methods to determine damages have been presented in the last few years with the aim to provide guidance to the courts on how the quantification of damages should be approached and what aspects have to be taken into consideration.
