Aidan Horn

Economist

Hi 😃 I am an academic economist. I can code in Stata, R, Python, LaTeX, Markdown, SQL and Git. Check out my free Shiny apps. 😁

Currently, I am focusing on providing policy advice for mandatory pensions in South Africa. The Treasury discussion paper is saved at http://www.treasury.gov.za/comm_media/news_archive_2021.aspx (14 Dec 2021). My supervisor is Andrew Donaldson, within SALDRU, working alongside SA-TIED.

My hobbies are trail running; going on overnight hikes; horse-riding; having coffee at a café, or pizza & craft beer at restaurants; and sailing.
