Dear Department of Economics,

I am writing to express my enthusiasm for the Economics Research Assistant position at your esteemed organization. With a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and significant experience in economic research and data analysis, I am eager to contribute to your ongoing projects on labor economics and income inequality.

I earned a GPA of 3.9 with outstanding performance in Econometrics, Labor Economics, and Advanced Macroeconomic Theory, giving me a solid grasp of economic principles and quantitative methods. I am highly skilled in statistical software such as Stata, R, and Python for data analysis and econometric modeling.

As a Research Assistant in my university's Economics Department, I studied minimum wage impacts on employment, handled data, ran regressions with Stata, reviewed papers, and aided in report preparation. We identified notable employment shifts in the retail sector linked to wage hikes.

I am impressed by your organization's commitment to addressing economic disparities through rigorous research and innovative policy solutions. I am confident that my skills and experiences align well with your needs, and I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your research.

Enclosed is my resume, which includes information about my education and research. I look forward to discussing how my skills can contribute to your team. Thank you for reviewing my application. You can contact me for an interview via my email at [Your Email].

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
