I need a statistician

I need to test for relationship between an index of shareholder rights in publicly traded companies and proxies for innovation (e.g. R&D expense as % sales, per employee, # of patent applications, etc.) The firms will be sorted by industry SIC and NAIC codes. Further control variables will be used from each company's financial data. Study will make use of various financial databases, such as compustat and CRSP, as well as the US patent office database. This "big data" study will involve linear and non-linear regressions, as well as fixed effects industry panel regressions.

I can send you more information later, but the thrust of my inquiry right now is to find out how your pricing works, e.g. per hour? flat rate? etc.
