What kind of projects can a freelance economist help me with?
A freelance economist can support a wide range of needs—from policy research, economic modelling, and urban planning to investment strategy, feasibility analysis, and impact assessments. If your project involves data, policy, or development strategy, an economist adds real value.
How can hiring a freelance economist benefit my organization?
Hiring a freelance economist gives you expert insight without the cost of a full-time hire. You gain access to data-driven analysis, tailored policy advice, and project-specific expertise that supports smarter decisions and long-term outcomes.
I’m not in the public sector—can an economist still help me?
Absolutely. Economists work with private firms, NGOs, donors, and academic institutions too. Whether you’re conducting market analysis, assessing risk, evaluating programs, or planning urban development, economic insight strengthens your work.

I use tools like Stata, R, Python, GIS tools, EViews, and econometric models tailored to your project. Methods include cost-benefit analysis, impact evaluations, spatial diagnostics, macroeconomic forecasting, and policy simulations.
Do I need to have my own data to get started?
Not necessarily. I can help source reliable data from government, academic, or international databases—or work with your internal datasets. I also advise on data collection strategies where needed.
How do we start working together?
Start by contacting me with a brief overview of your project. I’ll schedule a discovery call to understand your goals, propose a scope of work, and offer a tailored solution based on your budget and timeline.
