Ph.D. Economist | Econometrics, STATA, Survey Data & Policy Research

Profile Summary

I help researchers, consulting firms, NGOs, startups, and policy organizations turn complex data into clear, decision-ready insights. I am a Ph.D. Economist with 10+ years of experience in applied econometrics, survey data analysis, policy research, academic research, and report writing. My work focuses on development economics, financial inclusion, food security, poverty, health, agriculture, labor markets, and household welfare. What I do best: • Econometric analysis using Stata, Python, and Excel • Regression analysis, panel data analysis, IV estimation, PSM, Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition, and other advanced-level techniques • Survey data cleaning, coding, analysis, and interpretation • Analysis of large datasets such as NSSO, IHDS, NFHS, CMIE, Census, WDI, OECD, UNSTATS, and UNCTAD • Policy reports, technical reports, literature reviews, and research proposals • Academic manuscript support, including methodology review, results interpretation, tables, discussion, and journal-readiness improvement • Data visualization using Excel, Power BI, Python, and ArcGIS I have worked as an Assistant Professor of Economics, Senior Analyst, Visiting Research Fellow, and Senior Research Fellow, with experience across academic institutions, policy research organizations, and development-sector projects. My research has been published in peer-reviewed journals from publishers such as Springer, Emerald, Taylor & Francis, Wiley, PLOS, and Sage. Clients usually come to me when they need someone who can do more than run commands. I help them choose the right method, clean and structure the data, produce reliable results, interpret the findings clearly, and present them in a professional format. I can help you with: • STATA data analysis and do-files • Econometric modeling and interpretation • Survey data analysis • Policy and impact evaluation • Research reports and policy briefs • Journal manuscript improvement • Addressing Reviewer comments • Literature reviews and research proposals • Data visualization and dashboards My goal is simple: to deliver accurate, well-explained, and professionally presented research outputs that you can use with confidence.
