Founder & Chief Scientist
Development Economics X Ghana
What We Do
Causal Inference & Impact Evaluation for Structural Impact
Most analytics show you what happened, but they cannot tell you why. We specialize in isolating external market noise to prove whether your specific intervention, product launch, or policy actually caused the change in your metrics–and if not, how to get there.
- The Value: Maximize your ROI by pouring capital only into initiatives that demonstrably drive outcomes.
- Applications: Product feature evaluation, user engagement, program audits, and market intervention analysis.
Behavioral Economics & Nudge Design
Human behavior is rarely linear. We apply validated behavioral science frameworks to map customer and community decision-making journeys, diagnosing exactly where and why users drop off.
- The Value: Low-cost, high-impact structural tweaks that drastically increase conversion, adoption, and retention.
- Applications: Micro-loan repayment optimization, digital wallet utilization, and community program scaling.
Macroeconomic Analysis & Structural Forecasting
Isolated micro-level interventions cannot succeed without navigating broader economic shifts. We deploy world-class macroeconomic research to evaluate how institutional transformations, regulatory policies, and market realities dictate long-term business and development outcomes.
- The Value: Protect capital and optimize long-term strategy by aligning your operations with data-driven macroeconomic realities.
- Applications: Sovereign risk modeling, inflation-impact forecasting on consumer spending, and institutional policy analysis.
