NERA economists use quantitative research, choice models and
other survey techniques to reach conclusions in a range of disputed
issues -- such as market definition, claiming rates and product defects
analysis in mass torts, claimed theft of trade secrets and Lanham Act
claims of alleged trademark infringement or false advertising. Our
surveys can help identify how consumers choose among service or product
configurations, which attributes sway purchase decisions or whether
certain names or designs have achieved meaning in the marketplace.
Our expert statisticians and economists combine a deep knowledge
of sampling techniques, survey administration and analyzing complex
sets of data with a firm grounding in econometric principles and
practice. NERA consultants help clients in industries including
automotive, healthcare, entertainment, consumer products, software and
food products, among others. Our work ranges from short-deadline
sampling assignments and constructive critiques of existing surveys to
rigorous survey projects that successfully resolve multimillion-dollar
lawsuits.
