NERA's Capabilities With Large Complex Trading Datasets At A Glance
Capabilities and Services
Modern financial markets produce vast amounts of data every day as orders and transactions occur with increasingly high frequency. When disputes arise in these markets, the ability to analyze large data sets is essential. NERA has the technical capability to handle large complex datasets, and NERA economists have deep experience in analyzing these datasets.
In each situation, forensic economists in NERA's Securities and Finance Practice go beyond simply processing data and use our understanding of economics and markets to ensure that the data are dealt with properly. We combine careful analysis of data with an understanding of regulatory interest in issues related to these data, and use this expertise to educate third parties about the effect of trading strategies in use, explain trading strategies to regulatory bodies, and provide quantitative assistance with formulating responses to more formal inquiries. We have worked with data from stock markets, futures markets, OTC swap trading platforms, and bulletin board trading facilities.
NERA's experts also use econometric skills to provide sophisticated analyses of data. This can involve determining appropriate sampling techniques to create a statistically representative sample of the data for further analysis, or determining the appropriate statistical tools to analyze the data.
