What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents silent errors in economic data analysis by enforcing disciplined data description, transparent transformations, validation, and reproducible documentation throughout the research workflow.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Describe and Validate Data: Inspect panel structure, variable distributions, data types, missingness, outliers, and post-transformation changes.
- Analyze with Integrity: Guide safe merges, filtering, reshaping, aggregation, deduplication, time-series operations, variable construction, and missing-data handling with row-count logging and documented decisions.
- Support Reproducible Research: Structure notebook-compatible analysis scripts, design sensitivity checks, preserve analytical evidence during integration, and protect headline results from drift.
- Use Case: Apply the Skill to clean a panel dataset, construct growth variables, merge macroeconomic controls, run regressions, generate figures, and document the resulting findings in a task record.
Quick Start
Use the econ-data-analysis skill to plan and execute a rigorous analysis of the available economic or financial data, including diagnostics, transformations, validation checks, figures, and documented results.
