Why This Work Matters

AI systems learn from human-created examples, reviews, and structured datasets. Economists and modelers play a vital role when AI needs high-quality time-series forecasts, diagnostics, and domain-aware interpretation: your modeling work improves how models reason about macroeconomic dynamics and informs policy-focused outputs.

This is a remote, part-time contractor role requiring 20+ hours/week. Compensation ranges up to $100/hour (hourly range: $35–$100/hr). English required; expert-level econometric experience expected.
