The role of the forensic economist is to assist juries in quantifying the economic damages sustained by individuals or businesses due to specific injuries or incidents. This thesis is an in-depth investigation and analysis of the methodologies of forensic economists.;Although forensic economics is an emerging field there is already an abundance of publications, predominantly in the Journal of Forensic Economics While industry leaders have covered all of the topics that are discussed in this thesis, no publication to date has covered most of the topics in forensic economics while introducing economists to this field. In an attempt to set forth a comprehensive guide to calculating economic damages, this thesis compiles, compares and builds upon historical research on the field of forensic economics. |
