Governments at all levels—federal, state, and local—routinely determine public policy on a wide array of economic and social issues that have widespread effects on society, including individuals, businesses, industries, and governments themselves. Meister Economic Consulting helps inform and shape public policy through the use of economic and financial research, analysis, and testimony.

​

Damage analysis is an important and complex component of many litigation matters. Reliable estimates of damages require a thorough assessment of the difference between a plaintiff’s actual economic position and the economic position the plaintiff would have achieved absent a defendant’s allegedly wrongful conduct. Underlying damage analysis are fundamental economic issues, including whether there has in fact been an economic loss to the plaintiff, whether there is a causal link between the alleged wrongful conduct and any loss, and what portion of any loss is the result of the alleged wrongful conduct rather than other effects.

​

Plaintiffs and defendants in a wide variety of litigation matters have called on the experts at Meister Economic Consulting to conduct damage analyses.
