  This lost profits expert holds a PhD and is an economics professor at a public university, with experience retained as an economics expert in business interruption and lost profits cases for both plaintiffs and defendants.

  This expert calculates economic losses by comparing a plaintiff's business income (or profit) absent alleged wrongdoing with actual business income (or profit) after the alleged wrongdoing. The pecuniary value of the difference is the economic loss, although testimony has also addressed matters in which the opinion was that there were no economic losses.

  The elements that must be considered in such an analysis include: (i) the appropriate level of business income or profit without the alleged wrongdoing, (ii) the appropriate level of business income or profit with the alleged wrongdoing, (iii) growth and price inflation, (iv) the future time duration of any potential economic losses, (v) deductions from the economic losses from reasonable mitigation efforts by the plaintiff, (vi) discounting future losses to present value, and (vii) adjustments for differential tax treatment between a damages award and the taxes that would have been paid on the business income or profit.

  This expert has published numerous articles in peer-reviewed economics journals on the methodologies used when calculating economic losses. The research has been cited by major business and news publications.
