NERA Economic Consulting Internship (m/f/d): Competition Economics Berlin

Beschreibung:

At NERA you will apply the economic principles you learned at university to provide clear and credible expert analysis that has an impact on important decisions by clients, judges, juries and regulators.

NERA's economists have been creating strategies, studies, reports, expert testimony and policy recommendations for regulatory authorities, governments and the world's leading law firms and corporations for over half a century. NERA Economic Consulting serves clients from over 25 offices across Europe, North America and Asia Pacific.

In the Competition Economics team you will work on high-profile cases conducting theoretical and empirical economic analysis.
