Senior Consultant

Dr Astrid Jung joined E.CA Economics in 2008. Prior to that, she worked for CRA International in Sydney and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). During more than 15 years of experience in the profession, Astrid has built an extensive case experience covering a wide range of industries, competition matters, jurisdictions and clients in Europe, Australia and Asia. Examples of her recent work include private litigation in cartel and information-exchange cases (e.g. trucks, car parts, harbour services, consumer goods), anti-competitive conduct in the shopping centre industry as well as mergers in the construction materials sector. Astrid has testified before the Australian Competition Tribunal.

Astrid holds a PhD from Humboldt University, where she specialised in the field of empirical industrial organization. Her research includes, among others, interconnection in IP networks and the empirical modelling of competition in the early mobile telephony industry. Astrid has published in Telecommunications Policy and in the Journal of Industry, Competition and Trade.

In 2019, W@Competition named Astrid as one of their “40 in their 40s” Notable Women Competition Professionals in Economics.
