What is a forensic economist?

A forensic economist is an expert who calculates economic damages for legal cases, including lost earnings, lost benefits, future medical costs, and business valuations. They provide expert testimony and detailed reports for use in litigation.

Economic damages are calculated by analyzing lost earnings, lost benefits, future earning capacity, medical costs, household services value, and other economic losses. These are projected into the future and reduced to present value using appropriate discount rates.

A qualified forensic economist should have advanced degrees in economics or business, professional certifications (CRC, CLCP, ABVE), extensive experience in economic analysis, and a track record of providing expert testimony in court.
