COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION Guidelines for national courts on how to estimate the share of overcharge which was passed on to the indirect purchaser · European Union

| (151) | When employing the elasticity approach the court may estimate the relevant elasticity parameters. One way to do this is to develop a demand model and use econometrics. However, as mentioned above, such an approach is demanding in terms of data requirements and assumptions. If data is not available and other sources are used, e.g. market studies or information from previous cases, it is important to note that such sources may not be appropriate if the market in the case at hand is different from the market described in the studies in terms of market structure. Under such circumstances, the elasticity approach might not provide an accurate estimate of the volume effect.
