Master in Economics

"The French government has several Regional Economic Services in developing countries to promote cooperation and provide a link with the French chairs in multilateral organizations such as the IADB or the IMF. My office is based in Panama and I am in charge of Panama, the Andean and Caribbean countries. My everyday job consists of analyzing the macroeconomic situation of these countries and addressing some more structural issues. For instance, I have been working on the impact of the international economic crisis on the region: through which channels are countries affected? To what extent are they affected? Which measures did they implement to mitigate the impact of the crisis? In order to prepare those reports for the French government, I have to travel regularly to these countries. During those missions, I meet with Ministers, Central Bank governors, economists, and multilateral organizations’ representatives to assess the situation of each country."

"For the past year I've worked as a research assistant for Emily Oster at the Becker Center at the University of Chicago. It's been a tremendous experience. We've been researching the effect of peer networks on technology adoption and education in India. Next year I will be entering the doctoral program in Applied Economics at the University of Pennsylvania in the Wharton School. I plan to focus on labor, urban, development, and economic history."

"The IDB is a multilateral development bank that funds government projects throughout Latin America.
