Lou Nadeau

An expert in econometrics, statistical analysis, survey design, and process analysis, Dr. Lou Nadeau joined ERG in 1996. A vice president, he developed and currently manages ERG’s program evaluation and performance measurement practice, which focuses on two areas: evaluating the impacts of federal programs (including developing performance metrics) and valuing ecosystem services.

Government agencies such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Food and Drug Administration, Department of Labor, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and Commission for Environmental Cooperation have used Lou’s services to learn where their programs are making impacts, discover ways to improve program effectiveness, and provide a data-based foundation for enhanced management decision-making. Lou is hands-on in the projects he manages, leading interviews and conducting statistical analyses. He often presents his work at national conferences and to upper management at federal agencies.

Lou has a B.A. in economics from Assumption College and a Ph.D. and M.A. in economics from Clark University.
