Abstract

Eine ökonomisch fundierte Quantifizierung von Schäden durch Verstöße gegen das Wettbewerbsrecht hat in den letzten Jahren, vor allem im Zuge der privaten Kartellrechtsdurchsetzung, erheblich an Bedeutung gewonnen. Wenn ein Schaden vor Gericht geltend gemacht und eine Kompensation des entstandenen Schadens eingefordert wird, so ist hierfür die Höhe des erlittenen Schadens zu quantifizieren. Derartige Schadensersatzforderungen werden in jüngster Zeit immer häufiger erhoben und es ist damit zu rechnen, dass sich dieser Trend auch künftig fortsetzen wird. Ziel dieses Beitrages ist es, eine allgemein verständliche Einführung in die ökonomischen Konzepte und Methoden zur Ermittlung und Bewertung von Schäden zu geben, die durch Verletzungen des Wettbewerbsrechts entstanden sind, wobei das europäische sowie das deutsche Wettbewerbsrecht im Vordergrund stehen.
