Welcome to my research hosting site. I am an economics PhD candidate at The New School for Social Research.

Welcome, here are some projects of mine

Projects

Research

My empirical work on public finance and data.

The research-data platform: a hub of data sites including Gerhard (US public finance, gerhard.heterodata.org), Shaikh Data (shaikh.heterodata.org — replications of Anwar Shaikh’s Capitalism and Measuring the Wealth of Nations), Lewis (international economics, lewis.heterodata.org), Leonid (Soviet statistics, leonid.heterodata.org), and Leontief (US input–output, leontief.heterodata.org), plus affiliated standalone sites: volcker.org (banking analysis), freenic.org (banking data), foodberg.org (food prices), and methodex.fyi (statistical methodology).

Economics at the New School

A three-part institutional and intellectual history of The New School’s economics department. A 121-page draft of Part 1 is available on Google Drive.

AI Tools

The open-source research tooling I built for AI-assisted empirical economics, with links to the GitHub repositories.

HMDA Explore

An interactive explorer over Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data, in two versions side by side:

andenick.shinyapps.io/HMDAExplore — the earlier interactive draft (R-Shiny; slower to start).
hmdaexplore.com — the actively developed web version.

Thank you and let me know if you have any questions!
