Statistical Sampling and Surveys

Where relevant records or data are not easily accessible or would be time-consuming and expensive to review in full, NERA economists use well-designed statistical sampling techniques to extract reliable subsets of the pertinent population for review and analysis. NERA economists have used quantitative research, choice models, and other survey techniques to reach conclusions in a range of disputed issues—such as claimed theft of trade secrets and Lanham Act claims of alleged trademark infringement or false advertising. Our experts employ advanced tools, such as choice modeling, and are current with the latest research on survey procedures and statistical sampling. Most are active members of the American Association of Public Opinion Research and have taught survey methodology at leading universities.
