Economists: Economic Analysis for AI Training
Job Description
What We're Researching
We're running a paid study to improve how artificial intelligence handles complex economic reasoning. By gathering real economic analysis, we aim to build better benchmarks for AI performance in areas like forecasting, antitrust, and trade policy. This work directly feeds into the development of more accurate and reliable analytical tools.
How It Works
You will work remotely to translate your hands-on economic expertise into structured training tasks. During the project, you will review model outputs, evaluate economic arguments, and create detailed prompts based on real-world impact studies. The work is asynchronous and requires a commitment of 20+ hours per week. You will use our platform to submit your analysis and provide feedback on the AI's reasoning capabilities.
Who This Is For
We welcome practicing economists with hands-on experience in applied economic analysis. Professionals with backgrounds in forecasting, public policy, antitrust, trade, or economic impact studies are highly encouraged to apply. You should be comfortable breaking down complex economic concepts into clear, evaluate-able steps.
