Analysis Group Vice President Emmanuel Frot will join a Canadian Bar Association (CBA) webinar to explore topics related to “green” claims in competition matters. Panelists will discuss emerging tools in behavioral economics that can help economists analyze the materiality of non-price considerations – particularly those related to the environment, climate, and sustainability – in consumer decision making. They will also discuss the emergence of sustainability issues as a defense in merger reviews, cartel investigations, and other antitrust cases.
