Biography
Dr. Richard Goldberg specializes in matters where careful analysis and modeling of economic, business, or financial data is critical. Such matters can arise in the course of complex litigation as well as management consulting. His work often requires statistical analysis of market price data, valuation of complex financial instruments, quantifying market risk, and analyzing trading records.
In litigation matters, Dr. Goldberg has provided expert testimony for federal and state courts, arbitration panels, mediators, and regulatory bodies. His conclusions often are based on statistical analysis, market valuation, a determination of policy compliance, or a damages calculation. In addition to providing expert testimony, Dr. Goldberg also consults to attorneys by providing assistance in the interpretation and evaluation of complex analyses and in preparing to depose or rebut economic experts proffered by an opposing party.
In consulting matters, Dr. Goldberg frequently works for energy companies, where he provides analysis, training, and tool development related to market price forecasting, valuation of power plants and energy supply contracts, and risk management. He is considered an industry expert in the application of derivative security pricing methods to calculate the market value of energy contracts and physical assets.
Dr. Goldberg is the co-author of a leading textbook on digital audio technology and a Visiting Scholar at Stanford University’s Computer Center for Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), where he teaches audio compression technology to graduate students and industry professionals.
Prior to joining The Brattle Group, Dr. Goldberg was Manager, Risk & Asset Management for the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). He has held research positions at Stanford University, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Princeton University, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, and the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. He holds an A.B. in Astrophysical Sciences from Princeton University and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Physics from Stanford University.
