PROJECT EXPERIENCE
• Econometrics Project – In an attempt to find Okun’s coefficients using most
recent US data, a Koyck (lagged) model was used to estimate whether or not a
change in the real gross domestic product affects unemployment over multiple
periods. In addition to that, the research also included a test for structural
breaks to measure the change that recessions had on Okun’s coefficients.
• Environmental Economics – A study was conducted to look at some of the
market failures with regard to overfishing of the ‘anchoveta’ in Peru. After
identifying the issues with regard to market failures, solutions were provided
to try and eliminate or at least moderate the problem of overfishing.
