​CRA Berkeley 2017 Case Competition


Charles River Associates (CRA) is bringing an opportunity to take on real-world case work. The case gives you a chance to link the skills you are learning at Cal with questions consultants and policy makers deal with every day. Participants will gain first-hand experience in the fast-paced world of economic, financial, litigation and strategy consulting.

You and your team will have a week to analyze a hypothetical merger case, with guidance from CRA consultants. You will learn how economists advise governments on the effects of mergers on consumers and how financial valuations inform M&A case decisions. The top three teams will present to a panel of CRA consultants and hiring managers, earn monetary awards of $1000, $800 and $600, and attend an awards luncheon with CRA.

Teams must consist of two to four registered undergraduate students with an expected graduation between December 2017 and May 2020.

This competition is co-sponsored by the Undergraduate Economics Association and Berkeley PBL. Sign up by Monday, March 6, 11:59 P.M. atwww.crai.com/casecompetition/berkeley.
