Description

Tourism Economics is a subsidiary of Oxford Economics dedicated to analytical consulting in the tourism sector. We are seeking a high-caliber economist to join our expanding team and be based in the Philadelphia area, PA (USA) offices - Center-city, or Wayne location.

Examples Of Our Work Include

  • tracking, modeling, and forecasting travel sector performance,
  • quantifying the economic impact of visitors, events, and destination marketing, and,

  • Ensuring quality and consistency in results by being mindful of previous approaches, data limitations, and potential inconsistencies, and by being detail oriented.

In this position, you will apply a strong grounding in economic concepts and research methods. You will assist with econometric model pipelines in R and/or Python, drawing on our internal data warehouse and third-party data. You will gain familiarity with customized use of the IMPLAN software for economic impact analysis. As your capabilities expand, the role will grow to include managing more customized research such as scenario forecasts and policy analysis to support client decision-making.
