International Economics Undergraduate
Through my project based on Jensen and Miller's paper in ECON 442, I significantly strengthened my STATA skills. By replicating their analysis and conducting various robustness checks, I gained hands-on experience in handling large datasets, cleaning and manipulating data, and implementing advanced econometric techniques. This project allowed me to enhance my proficiency in STATA, while also deepening my understanding of empirical research methods.
Through this task, I demonstrated my ability to read a dataset from the web into R and to clean and wrangle the data into a tidy format. Additionally, I displayed my skills in exploratory data analysis by summarizing the data in at least one table and creating at least one relevant plot using only the training data. These skills are essential for conducting effective data analysis and can be applied in various fields, including business, research, and data science.
In this assignment, our goal is to show the applications of calculus in a field in order to “to convince the reader that calculus is a very useful subject and is full of real-world applications demonstrating your knowledge of the subject” (Anwesh’s Instructions, 2021). Hence, I “may also write about what your interests are and how learning calculus will be useful in your academic and professional development” (Anwesh’s Instructions, 2021).
