Applied Econometrician — Panel Data, GMM, IV & Stata | Manuscript Review & Replication | Springer Nature–Published

Profile Summary

I am an applied econometrician specialising in the transmission of economic policy uncertainty to banking-sector outcomes — credit risk and bank funding costs. My research is published in a peer-reviewed Springer Nature journal: Angela, I. T. (2026). Global economic policy uncertainty and credit risk in emerging economies: Evidence from Bangladesh. Future Business Journal, 12, Article 99 (https://doi.org/10.1186/s43093-xxxxxxxxxxx). I hold an MPhil in Economics and Finance from Western Sydney University, serve as a sessional lecturer in economics and finance at the Churchill Institute of Higher Education, Sydney, and have two papers accepted at the New Zealand Association of Economists (NZAE) Annual Conference 2026, alongside a series of SSRN working papers in banking and policy uncertainty. My empirical work is built on global panel data spanning 32–37 countries and up to 4,847 banks (2000–2021). Methodological expertise includes panel fixed effects with Driscoll–Kraay standard errors, System GMM (Blundell–Bond), instrumental variables estimation, including construction of a political-polarisation instrument from V-Dem data, quantile regression, OLS with HAC errors, and asymmetry decompositions. I work in advanced Stata across the full research workflow (data cleaning, estimation, diagnostics, and publication-ready tables via esttab), with working proficiency in R. Services offered • Econometric methods consulting and model specification — estimator selection, identification strategy, and specification design for empirical projects in economics and finance. • Pre-submission statistical review of manuscripts — a referee-style technical report on empirical economics and finance papers, with concrete remedies for each weakness identified. • Robustness and sensitivity analysis design — alternative estimators, samples, and variable definitions, designed and executed to anticipate referee scrutiny. • Stata code audit and replication — line-by-line verification of do-files and independent replication of reported results. • Panel data construction and management — multi-country, multi-entity panels delivered with documented, re-runnable code. • Peer-review response support — additional estimations and point-by-point technical drafting to address referee comments on empirical work. All engagements are delivered with reproducible, documented code, transparent reporting of specification choices, and strict confidentiality. My services support clients' original research.
