Empirical economics and finance dissertations are read with one question in mind: what do your estimates really show? Esmond reads how you specify, test and interpret your models, and flags where conclusions go beyond what the econometrics supports.
See how Esmond worksA significant coefficient in an OLS regression on observational data is an association. Drafts often describe it as the effect of one variable on another, then build policy advice on it. Esmond flags the sentences where causal language appears without a design that supports it, such as an instrument, a natural experiment or a difference-in-differences setup with its assumptions discussed.
It also looks at economic significance. A coefficient can be statistically clear and still too small to matter, and the reader needs you to say which it is.
Dissertations in this area lean on databases and official statistics. Esmond checks whether you explain how the sample was built, which observations were dropped and why, and whether a change in definitions over time is acknowledged. It does not download your data or rerun your regressions.
You upload your draft as a PDF. Short documents come back within minutes; a full dissertation takes longer. You get two things back: your own document with comments in the margin, and a separate feedback report that sets out what to tackle first. Every upload starts with a free preview, and the price follows the length of your document and is shown before you pay. No subscription, no account.
Esmond evaluates your work and writes nothing for you. Each comment points to a passage, explains what a supervisor or examiner might question, and gives a direction for revising it. You decide what to change, and every sentence stays yours.
Esmond is preparing its launch in Ireland and is not taking orders here yet. This page explains what the review does, so you know what to expect when it opens.
It reads how you report and interpret results in your text and tables. It does not run or check your code.
Yes. Esmond then reads whether your assumptions are stated, whether each step of the argument follows, and whether the conclusions are limited to the model.
