A Practical Example of How My Recent Economic Research Provides Academic and Real-World Credibility

As part of my PACE unit for Economics, my team and I conducted an applied research project analysing lending patterns in the Australian economy and whether "Risk Aversion is Weakening the Australian Economy".

Our project was selected among the top three within the cohorts and will be presented to the Head of Australian Economics from Moody’s, Sunny Nguyen, reflecting the practical rigour and relevance of our analysis.
