Ian C.

I am an economist pursuing a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia. I specialize in microeconomics and quantitative analysis, particularly using observational data (though I also have substantial experience in experimental design). While not my full-time responsibility, I serve as an adjunct professor of economics at Montana State University. With nearly a decade of experience using R, I can assist with any R coding challenges you encounter or help you learn the language. I am also an expert in Stata, which I use daily in my research. While I can provide coding support in other languages like Python, my expertise in those areas is more limited. I offer assistance with research design, analysis, and data cleaning/preparation for projects using observational administrative or government data, as well as experimental design. Additionally, I specialize in editing and revising academic research writing, including work intended for general audiences. My research has been published in leading economics and education journals, with findings featured in prominent media outlets such as National Public Radio, the Fordham Institute, and the Economic Report of the President. I bring extensive experience as both a teacher and tutor, having helped numerous individuals with class projects, theses, and nonacademic research projects. My hourly rate is negotiable depending on the project scope, though I typically maintain rates consistent with my expertise and experience.
