Location: Remote · Type: Independent contractor · Hours: Flexible hours · Payouts: We’re looking for an experienced Applied Economist to help train AI models. You’ll judge how well frontier models reason about economic questions, check their use of data and methods, and write the analysis a working economist would stand behind.

This is a new and growing area for our company: teaching AI to reason like an economist. What they can’t yet do reliably is weigh competing analyses of the same question, spot a flawed identification strategy, or tell an overstated conclusion from a supported one. Compare two competing economic analyses of the same question and judge which one an economist would rely on.

Evaluate model output for analytical soundness, correct use of data, and appropriate methodology.

Apply your domain knowledge to realistic problems drawn from applied economic research.
