SCOPE | Vectum would like to congratulate Master’s students Lea Bottmer and Anne Pieters and PhD candidates Elisa Voisin and Caterina Schiavoni for their remarkable runners-up result at the 2019 Econometrics Games in Amsterdam! You go girls! Your success is a true testament to your hard work, discipline, and talent that your fellow students can look up to. Maastricht University and our Econometrics community are very proud of you!
After submitting their Master’s theses this summer, Lea will cross the Atlantic to pursue a PhD in Economics at Stanford University and Anne will start working for APG. We wish you all the best for your future! You will both surely be missed, especially by your students from the extra tutorials! As for Elisa and Caterina, we wish you both all the best in your PhD studies. Fortunately, we students will still be able to benefit from your sound knowledge at tutorials.
To our readers who would like to know more about Lea, Anne, Elisa, and Caterina’s experience at the 2019 Econometrics Game, we recommend Florian Raith’s well-written article “A numbers game” in the SBE’s latest edition of “Students going the extra mile”.
We recommend giving the girls’ runner-up paper about climate change a close read under https://econometricgame.nl/econometric-game-2019/.
