Data Science

The Compass Lexecon Data Science team was created to bring the latest developments in programming, machine learning, and data analysis to economic consulting.

By applying cutting-edge data science techniques to merger proceedings, antitrust investigations, arbitration matters, and more, we benefit our clients in multiple ways, for example:

• Developing new types of evidence (e.g., using AI) to provide innovative responses to economic questions

• Improving the quality and robustness of arguments, and communicating results better (e.g., via interactive maps)

• Automating data collection, extraction, and processing

• Developing solutions to help clients leverage data, e.g., a tool for searching for specific terms or concepts in competition authority decisions

Data is a critical part of virtually all issues in economics and business. Our advanced data science capabilities are therefore a valuable asset on any Compass Lexecon engagement, empowering our economic consultants to make optimum use of data for providing advice or testimony to clients.
