For example, we may be asked to predict the effect of a merger of two major high-tech firms on prices and innovation, to determine the effect of unfavorable drug test results on the stock price of a leading pharmaceutical company, or to value a patent on smartphone technology that might have been infringed.
Consultants from Cornerstone Research will be holding a presentation on economic consulting, and we will walk through an interactive case interview. By participating in the presentation, you will gain a better understanding of the analytical approach used to solve complex economic and financial problems. You will have the opportunity to solve conceptual puzzles that our consultants face every day and learn about common pitfalls to avoid during case interviews. Following the case overview, you will have the chance to meet our consultants and follow up with any questions regarding the case discussed. We will also be available to answer questions about pursuing a career in economic consulting.
We are recruiting for our full-time Analyst role (open to seniors graduating in late 2024 or 2025) and our Summer Analyst program (open to juniors graduating in late 2025 or 2026).
If you need an accommodation related to a disability, please contact our office no later than two weeks before the event date. Accommodation requests received within a week of the event will be provided to the extent possible.
