| (119) | The use of regression analyses when employing the comparator-based approach may increase the accuracy of the estimated passing-on effect. A judge should be aware that, while these types of regression models offer a direct estimate of the passing-on effect, they do not quantify the extent to which each of the theoretical factors affecting the passing-on, discussed in section 3 above (e.g. nature of input costs and nature of the product demand), contributed to the effect. A strength of using regression analyses is that it is less likely to make assumptions related to economic theory that are wrong. While such a factor-by-factor quantitative breakdown of the estimated passing-on effects is usually not necessary for the estimation of the passing-on effect, it can be noted that the techniques described in section 5.2.3 below might provide a quantitative breakdown of the factors.
