He was the Director of the RAND Institute for Civil Justice, a liability research center which published influential research on asbestos; and co-director of the RAND Center for Terrorism Risk Management Policy, which published research on terrorism insurance that was cited in congressional debates over the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act.
