| (97) | Assuming, in a case on which Box 5 and Box 6 are based, car manufacturer C1 in Member State 1 (the indirect purchaser) claims damages from the copper manufacturer A1 (the infringer). As explained in paragraph 8, any harm that C1 suffers stems from the passing-on of overcharges from the wire harnesses supplier B1. Using a difference-in-differences approach would involve an assessment of the development of the price paid by the car manufacturer C1 in Member State 1 (the market with a passing-on related price effect) during a certain period, and comparing it to the development of the price paid by the car manufacturer C2 in Member State 2 (unaffected by the infringement and hence with no passing-on related price effects) in the same time period. The comparison shows the difference between these two differences over time. This provides an estimate of the change in the price paid by the car manufacturer, excluding all those factors that affected the markets both in Member State 1 and Member State 2 in the same way. Hence, the method isolates the passing-on related price effect from other influences on the price of wire harnesses common to both markets.
