Shaun C.

PhD Behavioral Economist, Academic Researcher, Writer, & AI Consultant

I bridge the gap between rigorous economic theory and cutting-edge technology. As a PhD-level Behavioral Economist, I specialize in improving the accuracy of Generative AI models for financial and economic forecasting for global leaders, including Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. My expertise encompasses model evaluation, RLHF, and strategic AI implementation within the finance industry. Additionally, I provide high-level academic consulting for scholars and doctoral candidates. I specialize in the complex stages of the publishing cycle, including original manuscript development, dissertation coaching, and navigating "revise and resubmit" requirements for elite journals such as the Strategic Management Journal and Academy of Management Journal. Consultation Policy: I offer a free 15-minute introductory meeting to discuss your goals. For complex projects—specifically those requiring document reviews or substantive research strategy—please book a consultation. * 30-Minute Consultation: Reserved for non-research projects. * 60-Minute Consultation: Required for all research-based academic or corporate projects. Estimated project costs are provided exclusively following a formal consultation to ensure an accurate assessment of your specific needs.
