Research overview

I have written articles for a number of publications, both online and offline. If you are interested in commissioning a piece for your outlet or blog then use the contact form below to get in touch.

I tend to write on:

• Economics (and cognate areas such as Business and Marketing);
• Econometrics / Causal Inference; or
• Public Policy.

I regularly do pro bono work for nonprofits, where I help organisations enhance their impact by improving operations, efficiency, and decision making. 

I am able to provide a wide range of support in the following areas:

• Data analysis and insight
• Options appraisal
• Decision-making
• Process improvement
• Impact measurement

The Pro Bono Promise. I will:

• help any enquiring organisation to work out what sort of support they need;
• oversee the project with a light touch: checking that it has an agreed scope and deliverables, that it is progressing as planned and being on hand to help with problems;
• support the ending of the project and request feedback to evaluate our offering; and
• publicise the project if suitable, and by agreement.

My day rate is quite reasonable, and I can offer discounts for longer-term projects. I tend to work with:

• time series and panel data techniques for the analysis of macroeconomic and financial data (incl. measuring statistical effects that pure time series or cross-sectional data cannnot);
• marketing econometrics (incl. high-dimensional sparse consumers data);
• and related areas.

I have also done projects of a theoretical bent (incl. algorithmic combinatorial game theory) but these are best discussed in advance to ensure mutual fit.

I am happy to work on platform/language of your choice, incl. Matlab, Stata, Ox, RATS, and Eviews. I do not work with SPSS or SAS.
