NERA Economic Consulting and Fordham University School of Law Announce Law and Economics Lecture Series
27 June 2012
New York -- NERA Economic Consulting is pleased to announce the launch of a new lecture series in conjunction with Fordham Law School. The inaugural Fred Dunbar Memorial Lecture in Law and Economics will be held in spring 2013.
Dr. Fred Dunbar was a leading expert in economics, particularly in the field of securities. Over his 30-year tenure with NERA, he was one of the most sought-after expert witnesses and provided influential testimony in US federal and state courts and in arbitrations. He was retained to provide economic analysis and testimony in hundreds of cases by many of the top law firms and corporations in the US and around the world.
Over his career, Dr. Dunbar also served as an Economic Fellow in the Office of Economic Analysis of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, where he was part of the Division of Risk, Strategy and Financial Innovation, and as an adjunct professor at Fordham University School of Law.
"As an expert witness, a scholar, and an SEC Fellow, Fred was a distinguished economist who worked at the intersection of law and economics," said NERA President Dr. Andrew Carron. "Fred viewed teaching as a vital part of his life, and his academic experiences informed his work throughout his career. It is more than fitting to honor Fred’s memory through a new lecture series on law and economics in conjunction with Fordham Law School."
