Summary
Arshia Hashemi is an economist and associate at Cornerstone Research with nine years of experience applying rigorous economic analysis to antitrust litigation, merger reviews, and class certification matters. He recently completed a PhD in Economics at the University of Chicago, where his research and conference presentations intersect industrial organization, labor markets, and public policy—skills he now brings to complex litigation involving healthcare, finance, and high-tech industries. At Cornerstone he supports expert reports, deposition and trial testimony, and large data productions, and has worked on cases ranging from monopsony allegations in commodity markets to exclusionary conduct in entertainment and financial services. Trained at Oxford and UCL and with prior research experience at NBER, he blends advanced econometric and theoretical tools with courtroom-focused communication, enabling technical evidence to inform legal strategy. An unusual strength is his track record of refereeing top journals, reflecting both deep methodological expertise and engagement with cutting-edge economic debates.
