  • Aug 2022 - Present

  Economist in Business Case team. Constructing Appraisals and Modelling proposals for new transformative rail connections from Oxford to Cambridge. My main role involves incorporating micro and macroeconomic thinking to build the case for the new rail line, including; demand modelling, assessing net societal welfare gains/losses and forecasting the growth of housing and jobs. I work using the guidance from the Government Green Book and Transport Appraisal Guide to ratify these approaches in creating a robust case for the project. My econometric knowledge enables me to hold robustly models (used to estimate the above impacts) to account. An example of the typical question I’m tasked with resolving would be; what is the impact on the Operating costs, Total costs, and overall Benefits Costs Ratio of the project as a result of running 4 trains per hour instead of two across the scheme?

• Placement Economist

  • Sep 2018 - Sep 2019

  Worked at the Office for National Statistics for a year-long placement. This was a full-time role, assuming the actions of an assistant economist. During my time, I enhanced numerous skills, notably in; leadership, analysis and collaboration which are elaborated on below. Having passed the Economic Assessment Centre, as one of the fortunate few to do so, I will be returning as an Assistant Economist in September 2020. Leadership: - I co-ran an Economic Central Analytical Team - which conducted analysis projects. Some successful projects include 'the decoupling of of economic growth from carbon emissions' - the link available. - I also conducted a weekly STATA data analysis course for fellow placement students and economists at the ONS in order to conduct more complex analysis. Analysis: - I enhanced coding, data analysis, economic interpretability and professional writing skills in producing articles and analysis for my team and other divisions. These projects include: an Analysis of job mobility in the UK; research support in measuring "intangibles" not captured in GDP; the most extensive historical analysis of Blue Book revisions as part of an ongoing ESCoE project; and creating a python code for environmental firm data to flag renewable investments. The links to the first three of these projects are available in my 'Featured' Tab. Collaboration: - As briefly inferred, I collaborated with permanent staff and fellow placement students of all levels and experience in numerous projects at the ONS. In addition, I was also fortunate enough to attend events, such as the RAS (Research, Analysis and Statistics) conference, in which I presented my team's 'Analysis of job changers and stayers'; and the RES (Royal Economic Society) conference at Warwick University - which involved insightful networking with a platitude of esteemed economists.
