Part 1: Close Up Radio Spotlights Dr. Philip J. Cross of Kenyon Consulting

Washington, DC – Dr. Philip Cross is the founder of Kenyon Consulting LLC, where he provides economic and statistical consulting services to law firms, businesses, non-profits and government agencies.

Dr. Cross specializes in econometrics, which combines statistical analysis with economic theory to draw inferences about economic outcomes. Dr. Cross has worked on a wide range of litigation matters both on the plaintiff side and the defense side. He says both sides are happy to retain him because they know he will deliver unbiased, scientifically-grounded economic and statistical analysis.

Unlike the economists one might see on cable news, who are typically macroeconomists, Dr. Cross is a microeconomist; he doesn’t study the economics of large entities like countries, but rather the economics of small entities, like workers or customers or firms.

In a wrongful termination lawsuit, for instance, Dr. Cross’s job is to calculate how the worker’s future wages are impacted by the alleged wrongful termination.

Originally from Australia, Dr. Cross has spent 20 years as an economist in academia, government and consulting.

Prior to launching Kenyon Consulting, Dr. Cross taught in the Economics Department at Georgetown University.

“Some of the analysis that I do can be a little bit high tech, and one of the skills of being an expert witness is breaking down technical concepts in a way that a lay audience can understand,” says Dr. Cross. “So when I testify in front of a judge or a jury, I draw on my experience teaching college students, finding the right level of detail to explain what I'm saying in a way for to understand.”
