Abstract
Has acting made your a better person? Keanu Reeves was asked that question on his promotional tour for John Wick Chapter 2. Interestingly, his (struggling to) answer tells us a lot about the type of challenges we face in antitrust analysis.
Using a series of everyday life examples, analogies, and with help from Keanu Reeves, Julius Caesar, and Nicolas Cage, I discuss four powerful insights in statistics and econometrics that antitrust practitioners can learn and apply, all without any deep understanding of the underlying mathematics. My goal is to convince the readers that you do not need an advanced degree in economics or statistics to become more than dangerous when it comes to econometric analysis in the antitrust domain.
