Economist (PhD): econometrics, policy analysis and causal inference

Pay: $125–$200/hr

The work

Author graduate-level problems in microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics with worked solutions; grade model answers; review model-generated empirical work, identification strategies and policy analysis for the errors a journal referee would catch.

Who it suits

• PhD in economics or a closely related quantitative field; academic, central bank, consultancy or industry research experience.

How it works

• Apply with your CV and the hours you can give. 5 to 15 hours a week suits most people; the work is remote and on your own schedule.
• We verify your credentials, licence or degree and your identity before any paid work. Every piece of work traces to a named, verified expert.
• A paid calibration task on the project's own guidelines comes first.
• You are paid at the rate on this page for every hour of work that passes review. Rates rise with the difficulty of the project and your track record.
