"I am a Research Fellow at Evidence for Policy Design (EPoD), a research program within Harvard's Center for International Development. EPoD, formerly MDI, produces microeconomic research directed at shaping policy in developing countries. All of our projects are conducted abroad and thus the job is an exciting mix of microeconomic policy design, econometric analysis and fieldwork. The projects cover a wide range of subjects such as microfinance or the design of environmental auditing schemes. The International Trade, Finance and Development master program prepared me very well for this job, as I apply the skills I learned in class every day. Also, outside the classroom, the faculty at the Barcelona GSE never hesitated in taking time to give career advice or share their personal take on the world of economics."

"I'm a research fellow on the team for Economic Evaluation and Health Technology Assessment. Among my projects are a study of health care funding allocation and an analysis of the well-being of informal caregivers. I am definitely very happy to have done the Master in Economics because it gave me all the quantitative skills CHE was looking for. In particular I am using a wide range of analytical and quantitative tools I studied in microeconometrics, health economics, and labor economics." Eye on Alumni Feature

“My job with the IMIM Foundation is to keep research projects tight with their objectives and budgets. Although this is already a handful, the real challenge comes from coordinating several international partners with their different perspectives. My diverse background allows me to benefit from my experience in research and apply the knowledge provided by the master program.”
