Job Sheet: Socioeconomic Impact Economist
We are ideally looking for an economist that is familiar with modeling of macroeconomics, growth development and industrial innovation (ideally in the technology sector and or semiconductor industry).
The initial project for this economist is to build a robust, dynamic socioeconomic impact (partial equilibrium) model that incorporates the direct impact and interaction of human capital, R&D and physical infrastructure investment in a multibillion dollar technology cluster. Additionally the model is to include efforts to improve enablers of socioeconomic impact (eg. regulatory environment, IP protection, etc).
Deliverables include:
• identification of key socioeconomic enablers, outputs and empirical cause-effect relationships. (GDP, employment, # of businesses created, balance of trade…)
• A predictive dynamic model that can be adapted to other similar entities
• A benchmarking analysis of impact of other cluster developments
• Impact of “industry linkage analysis” or “industry agglomeration” to adjacent sectors (how investments in semiconductors impact telecom, computing, med device, online services, media, financial, media etc and impact on supplier costs of shipping, labor market pooling and intellectual spillovers.)
Technical skills:
Proficiency with SAS and or STATA
Experience running complex models, and interfacing with clients and experts
This is a chance to work with some of the world’s top economists and strategy experts from Harvard, MIT and Bocconi and to collaborate with real world business leaders developing strategies that will impact regional economies.
Longer term the firm is fast growing and will offer many exciting challenges to contribute to a similar caliber of cases. We offer competitive compensation, full benefits, small teams of world-class associates and offices in SF, Boston, Chicago, NY or UAE. For the right person we would also consider someone that is based in other locations that didn’t plan to relocate.
