About Me

My name is Rich Carpenter. I am an economist / data analyst with more than a decade of experience, primarily with economic and financial data. I have a B.A. in Economics and Political Science and an M.S. in Applied Economics.

You can also read older posts from my old blog when I used Blogger. I have also used Netlify to (infrequently) blog, via GitHub, but decided to move to a dedicated blogging platform that is a bit easier to use. The goal is to get back “on track” with blogging about economic analysis. I will be using data from public sources and open source tools, such as R and RStudio. My R scripts will be published on my GitHub repository.
