Interview practice
Cornerstone Research-style economic consulting case practice
An economic and financial consulting firm supporting expert testimony in litigation and regulatory proceedings.
Analyst interviews are widely reported to centre on econometrics fundamentals - regressions, causal inference, and explaining results clearly.
What this assessment looks like
Case interviews built on econometrics: difference-in-differences designs, confounders and instrumental variables, and antitrust market-definition questions - screened for whether your causal story survives pushback.
- Spotting the confounder that breaks a causal claim
- Difference-in-differences: what the parallel-trends assumption actually buys
- Market definition and the hypothetical-monopolist test
- Explaining a regression result to someone hostile to it
Train it here
- Causal Confounder - Find what actually drove the effect - DiD and confounding, playable.
- Antitrust - Market definition the way a consulting case asks it.
- Twenty Backtests - Multiple-testing intuition: why the twentieth backtest always looks great.
