Dr. Jules Kamin brings to the practice of forensic economics a unique combination of educational background, practical business and teaching experience, and a proven record of expert retention and testimony in
over five hundred cases since 1987. He conducts economic and financial analyses and testifies in a broad range of litigation categories, including lost profits of businesses, lost earnings of individuals, valuation of business interests, intellectual property, securities and antitrust. He has been retained by numerous leading law firms, major corporations and government agencies on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants. He has testified in over two hundred depositions and approximately sixty trials and arbitrations.
Analysis of economic damages requires the integration of economics, financial analysis, accounting and knowledge of business operations and technology. Dr. Kamin is uniquely qualified as a damages and valuation
expert because of his education and experience in these areas.
Dr. Kamin holds academic degrees in business, economics and engineering. He received a Ph.D. in Business from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business in 1973 and an M.B.A. in 1970. His areas of
concentration were Business Economics, Finance and Management Science. (Management Science applies higher mathematics to complex business systems.)
Dr. Kamin's doctoral research concerned the optimal adjustment through time of risky investment portfolios subject to transactions costs. He pioneered development of a "dynamic programming" model to deal with this problem and published his theory in 1975 in Management Science, a leading academic journal of applied business mathematics.
Dr. Kamin's work with Professor Lawrence Fisher, a renowned Wall Street consultant, concerned improvement of the statistical efficiency of measurement of "systematic risk," the key determinant of investment returns in modern financial theory. Professor Fisher and Dr. Kamin published the results of this research in 1985 in the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis.
While at the University of Chicago, Dr. Kamin had the exceptional benefit of taking classes from and being exposed to the ideas of a number of professors who later received the Nobel Prize in economics. Approximately two-thirds of the Nobel Laureates in economics are or have been faculty or students at the University of Chicago economics department or Graduate School of Business.
Dr. Kamin also received degrees from the University of Toronto. In 1967, he earned an M.A. in Economics. In 1965, he graduated with first class honors from Engineering Physics, a special accelerated program designed to develop research scientists. Dr. Kamin's field of concentration was Electrical Engineering.
Dr. Kamin has taught graduate courses in corporate finance, management of financial institutions and management of working capital at the graduate business schools of UCLA and USC.
Dr. Kamin has held positions in management of financial and economic analysis. At First Interstate Bank, a $60 billion commercial bank that was acquired by Wells Fargo Bank, he was vice president and manager of industry economics. He managed studies of credit risks and opportunities in major industries to assist the bank's credit allocation decisions.
As manager of economic analysis at The Aerospace Corporation, the largest federal contract research center, Dr. Kamin conducted for the U.S. Departments of Energy, Interior and Transportation, numerous studies of the financial and economic feasibility of large-scale solar-energy systems and oil-and-gas production, distribution and storage. In 1982, Dr. Kamin published a research paper in the Energy.
