Edgeworth Economics is an economic, financial, and quantitative consulting firm founded in 2009. The firm provides expert testimony and litigation consulting in addition to business consulting and data management services with clients that include law firms, corporations, and government agencies. Edgeworth’s professionals include PhD economists, statisticians, and business and human resources professionals who enjoy solving the practical problems their clients face. Using sophisticated analyses and techniques, Edgeworth provides solutions delivered in a simple and straightforward manner. A data-driven approach, responsive culture, and recognition of budgeting and cost containment are just a few of the reasons why leading attorneys rely on Edgeworth’s expert witnesses.
Operating out of four offices in Washington, DC, Pasadena, San Francisco, and Toronto, the firm is led by one of its co-founders, Dr. John H. Johnson, who serves as President and CEO. An expert and frequent writer on economic topics related to litigation, Dr. Johnson is also an active consultant and expert witness and has been featured in both capacities in cases around the world on class certification, market definition, anticompetitive effects, liability issues, causation, and antitrust.
What's in a name?
While the firm is less than a decade old, its guiding principles date back to the 19th century—to its namesake Francis Edgeworth, "who created a model of trade (known as 'pareto optimality') in which all individuals could be made better off without anyone being made worse off." The principle has guided its decisions since it was founded and governs not only the firm's approach to client work, but also company culture and work environment.
