RRC

What RRC does

RRC, Inc. is an economics consulting firm founded in 1978 by Dr. Donald R. House Sr. and headquartered in Bryan, Texas. The firm provides litigation support, expert testimony, survey research, healthcare economics consulting, and international financial advisory services, employing PhD-level economists with over 40 years of institutional experience and credentials spanning more than 50 trial testimonies.

The firm's core capabilities center on classical statistical and econometric analysis — including regression analysis, sampling design, and empirical data processing — combined with multi-modal survey research across telephone, mail, and online channels. RRC maintains dedicated practice areas in healthcare economics and international consulting through a partnership with Parnassus. Its methodology stack is court-tested rather than technology-platform based, and the firm's credibility is anchored in the personal qualifications of its testifying experts rather than proprietary software or data assets.

RRC operates a traditional professional services business model, monetizing through expert witness retainers, consulting engagements, and survey research contracts with a diversified client base spanning Fortune 500 corporates (Exxon, Ford, General Motors), Big Four and advisory firms (KPMG, Cap Gemini Ernst & Young), healthcare payers and associations (Blue Cross Blue Shield, Delta Dental, American Hospital Association, American Medical Association), and federal and state government entities (DoD, FTC, DoE, HHS, IRS, Texas Attorney General). The firm is privately held and family-owned by the House family, with multi-generational succession executed through Donald R. House Jr. (2009) and Dean House (2012).
