Major U.S. Car Rental Company
Economic Advice in Litigation
The Situation
NERA was hired by a major national car rental company to assist in its defense of a charge of statewide race discrimination in pay, promotion, and hiring.
NERA's Role
NERA's analysis showed that plaintiffs' expert's claim that there was statistical evidence of racial disparities was a statistical illusion caused by failure to take into account the particulars of defendant's pay and personnel practices.
The Result
The case was dismissed.
