Universities & research institutes

AIC for Universities

A teaching and research environment where students run real econometrics on real African data — without a computer lab of licensed software.

What this audience needs

  • Statistical software students can use without per-seat licences
  • African datasets that are actually reachable, with documented access terms
  • A path from research question to method to analysis
  • Reproducible work that supervisors can inspect

How AIC answers it

Econometrics workbench

AIC Studio ↗

Python and R in the browser with ARDL/NARDL, dynamic panel GMM, quantile regression, Bayesian VAR, spatial econometrics and DiD installed — and Stata and SPSS files read directly.

Research workflow support

AIC Research

Literature search, theory and method recommendation, and variable suggestions, with sources cited.

Survey discovery

AIC Data

Household and census microdata series across Africa with access conditions and documentation links.

Applied analysis

AIC Micro

Poverty and welfare analytics students can run on a survey without writing the estimator themselves.

In practice

Supervising a masters dissertation

  1. 1Student narrows a research question and finds relevant literature.
  2. 2Identifies a suitable survey series and checks its access terms.
  3. 3Runs the analysis in a notebook — panel GMM, ARDL, or poverty decomposition.
  4. 4Supervisor opens the same notebook and reruns it to verify the results.
