Professional Summary
José Bayoán Santiago Calderón is a senior research economist in the national economic accounts research group at the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. Before joining the federal statistical system, Dr. Santiago Calderón had years of experience in the private sector as a research scientist at various companies. Bayoán also held academic appointments with the Biocomplexity Institute and Initiative at the University of Virginia, where he started his career in public service.
His research has centered on improving decision-making. His transdisciplinary research approach has enabled him to routinely collaborate across disciplines and develop a diverse set of domain knowledge and methodological toolset. He also participates in various open-source software communities (e.g., JuliaLang) and civic activism (e.g., Code4PR, Mentes Puertorriqueñas en Accion).
In his non professional life, Bayoán enjoys spoiling his dog (Sadaharu), playing video games, watching TV, reading manga, and programming.
My work sits at the intersection of economics, public policy, and computational methods. I have developed research around official statistics, digital economy measurement, and the use of data-intensive methods to inform evidence-based decisions.
I am especially interested in building reproducible analyses and open-source tools that make complex questions more transparent and actionable.
