Before 'virtuous cycle' became a clich , Robert Nathan, the founder of Nathan Associates, believed that in a competitive system of markets and prices the advantage gained from innovation would be rewarded and lead to further innovation. Nathan Associates provides clients with solutions powered by an understanding of the economics of competition, innovation and reward. Its understanding of the costs and benefits of a competitive system of markets and prices derives from Nathan s experience developing and providing economic testimony in antitrust litigation, including class actions, and estimating the damages from anti-competitive behavior. Internationally, the organization develops and helps implement trade policy that allows expansion of geographic markets and wider dispersion of the benefits of competition.
