[edit] History
NERA was founded as National Economic Research Associates on 10 April 1961 by noted economists Dr. Jules Joskow and Dr. Irwin Stelzer. The two were advised by Dr. Alfred E. Kahn (1917-2010), one of the country's foremost economists and the future "father of airline deregulation." NERA was the first consulting firm dedicated to methodically applying rigorous microeconomic thought to litigation and regulatory matters.
Today NERA has evolved into a large, geographically diverse firm working with clients in 120 countries across dozens of industries. NERA is headquartered in New York City with over 20 offices across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. The firm employs more than 500 professionals, including over 400 in-house economists.
On 1 February 1983, NERA was acquired by Marsh & McLennan Companies, a global professional services firm providing advice and solutions in the areas of risk, strategy, and human capital.
