Abstract

AbstractDespite a large body of published research in forensic economics, there are still controversial topics that are lacking consensus. This paper presents an agenda for research on controversial topics in the hope that the results of such research will improve the reliability and validity of the work of forensic economists. Specifically, the paper presents suggestions for research on the choice of interest rates for discounting; interest rates, earnings growth and inflation; interest rates, growth in medical costs and inflation; how many years of earnings history is necessary to project base earnings and earnings history; alternative approaches to hedonic damages; and punitive damages.
