Henri Matisse, "Dance" (1909-1910)
Teaching experience & materials for research and mental health
During my PhD, I taught 10 courses: 5 as a teaching assistant and 5 as an instructor. My teaching experience spans all educational levels, from Bachelor's to PhD I primarily taught Applied and Theoretical Econometrics and Statistics.
In addition, below I share a list of research resources that help me as a young economist. I am also a strong advocate for raising awareness for the need to care for mental health during a PhD, and not only.
