Whether performed onsite or from our offices, nearly all of our current and past contracts have a substantial editorial services component, as much of our work involves conducting research and analysis and producing reports for both internal agency consumption and public release. Many of Econometrica’s communications projects involve reviewing and developing documents that effectively convey complex or technical information according to client specifications.
