Why economics?
“ I am pursuing a PhD in Economics because I want to better understand the causes and consequences of societal behaviour and how the latter can be influenced by policy actions. Economics provides me with rigorous theoretical and empirical methods, that can be used to analyse the mechanisms by which macroeconomic policies affect different agents in the economy. Being able to identify these mechanisms and quantify their impact is key to designing polices with a high impact on how our societies are shaped. ”
