Independent researchers & analysts

AIC for Researchers

The full analytical chain — discovery, data, method, estimation, interpretation — without assembling it from five disconnected tools.

What this audience needs

  • Finding which African data exists on a topic, and whether it is obtainable
  • Running serious econometrics without a local software stack
  • Moving between macro series and household microdata
  • Producing outputs that can go into a paper or brief

How AIC answers it

Full econometrics stack

AIC Studio ↗

ARDL/NARDL and bounds testing, dynamic panel GMM, quantile regression, VAR/VECM, GARCH, Bayesian VAR, spatial econometrics, DiD and synthetic control — in Python and R.

Macro time series

AIC Macro

Harmonized indicators for every African country with the coverage years shown per series.

Microdata analysis

AIC Micro

Upload a survey and compute poverty, inequality, agriculture and diversification measures with survey weights applied.

Spatial analysis

AIC Geo

Moran's I, LISA clusters and choropleth output at district or province level.

In practice

An inflation pass-through paper

  1. 1Pull the country's macro series and check coverage years.
  2. 2Estimate an ARDL model with bounds testing in the Studio.
  3. 3Test asymmetry with a NARDL specification.
  4. 4Export tables and figures for the manuscript.
