Journal of Forensic Economics

Overall, this volume is a very useful reference for judges, attorneys, and practitioners. The authors present essential concepts clearly and succinctly; and, where there is controversy among forensic economists, the authors successfully present divergent points of views in an unbiased manner.

The book is clearly written and thoughtfully presented. It contains pertinent information for those practitioners who litigate cases that involve more than a simple contract receivable and for those business people who have or could face losses. It is also an important read for any risk manager or insurance executive with claims responsibility.

The Journal of Economics

In all, Guides should be useful to its intended audience of judges and lawyers. The modules are expert, well written, and fairly review the various issues involved in these types of case. This publication should also be useful to even the most experienced forensic economist.
