About Dr. Stephanie Plancich
Dr. Plancich received her B.Sc. in Economics from the London School of Economics, University of London, and her Ph.D. in Economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At MIT, Dr. Plancich taught undergraduate courses in microeconomics and macroeconomics.
Dr. Plancich is a member of the Securities and Mass Torts group at NERA, and has worked on a number of projects in the Labor and Employment Practice. In all these practice areas, she has analyzed issues relating to class certification. Specifically in the Labor Practice, she has worked on class certification and damages analyses related to “wage and hour” litigation, determining if compensation and rest breaks had been properly received. She has also analyzed issues of potential discrimination in promotions, pay, and terminations. She has estimated the value of lost wages assuming improper termination or personal injury. Her analyses frequently form the basis for expert testimony.
Dr. Plancich’s graduate work was focused in the fields of labor economics and public finance, and her dissertation concentrated on issues of taxation for mutual funds. A section of her dissertation, “Mutual Fund Capital Gain Distributions and the Tax Reform Act of 1997,” was published in the National Tax Journal in 2003.
