Subject(s):

Compensation — Damages — Interest — Valuation

The concluding chapter summarizes the most important economic and legal principles and filters out guidelines for the calculation of compensation and damages in the practice of international investment disputes. The legal standard mandated by the bases of claims represents the starting point for the choice of the appropriate valuation approaches and methods. With regard to the decision on interest, tribunals must establish the appropriate rate of interest, the period of interest, and decide if interest should be compounded. This is necessary in relation to pre-award and post-award interest.
