About Sai Chand M.
I am an Economic Research Analyst at The Buckeye Institute’s Economic Research Center, where I apply econometric modeling and data analysis to assess the fiscal and economic impact of state-level public policy. With a Master’s degree in Applied Econometrics and Data Analytics from the University of Arizona, my work sits at the intersection of economics, data science, and public policy focused on generating evidence-based insights that support free-market solutions and long-term reform.Throughout my academic and professional journey, I’ve conducted applied research in areas such as government expenditure, labor markets, energy policy, credit access, and small business development. I’ve used tools like R, Stata, Excel, Python, and SQL to build forecasting models, simulate policy outcomes, and conduct time-series, panel, and difference-in-differences analyses. Whether examining the economic implications of fiscal expansion or evaluating behavioral responses to energy efficiency programs, I’ve consistently applied rigorous methods to inform high-stakes decision-making.My work also involves translating complex findings into clear insights for policymakers, stakeholders, and the public. I have extensive experience creating data visualizations and interactive dashboards using Power BI, Tableau, and GIS platforms, and have contributed to technical reports, policy briefs, and strategic communications across academic, public, and private-sector settings.What drives me is the belief that good policy starts with good data and that principled, transparent research can lead to meaningful societal impact. At Buckeye, I’m committed to advancing that vision by helping craft policy recommendations rooted in economic freedom, fiscal responsibility, and real-world outcomes.
