HELP COMPANIES, MARKETS, AND GOVERNMENTS MEET THEIR HARDEST CHALLENGES WITH THE BEST ECONOMIC GUIDANCE.
Competition, regulation, public policy, strategy, finance, and litigation are high-stakes and high-pressure matters with billions of dollars on the line. We provide the proof-positive businesses, policymakers, regulators, and judges need to make their most important decisions—decisions they can trust and by which others will abide.
Our Work
At NERA, you’ll use customized analytical approaches and develop innovative solutions to get to the truth behind future-making matters and deliver unbiased and defensible findings. You’ll take a multidisciplinary approach that includes applying economic theory and your skills in statistics, econometrics, finance, game theory, mathematics, and computer science to the most challenging issues our clients face. Those issues span everything from the valuation of corporate guarantees and assessing healthcare company mergers to designing competitive energy markets and informing international tax policy.
“The team gets to hear directly how the expert is thinking about a report, how to defend the opinions, how to anticipate critiques. The NERA team is always much closer to a case than at other firms.”
—Managing Director, New York
Our Path to Success
Succeeding at NERA means you’re intellectually curious. You are excited about the real-world challenges you’re working on, you love to learn, and you’re interested in solving complex problems through analysis and data synthesis. You are also a team player who takes initiative, asks questions, and takes responsibility for your work. You approach problems methodically, paying close attention to detail and developing accurate and objective conclusions. Strong communication skills are a must, and a passion for economics doesn’t hurt, either.
“It’s a privilege to be in a position where we’re in the business of helping sift through a gray, complex environment to find truth where there is no black and white. I think that is really rewarding.”
—Senior Analyst, Washington, DC
