Dear all, I am pleased to introduce Francesca Pietrangeli (CC'd here), a PhD student from the University of Tuscia, Italy. Francesca will be visiting our Division in August/September 2024 and again in March 2025. Her research focuses on integrating urban and regional indicators to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of local and place-based policies aimed at improving the local environment and quality of life. Francesca will have a desk in the School and is keen to connect with as many of us as possible. She is interested in participating in Economics Division and Behavioural Science seminars, activities, and workshops, as well as broader School-wide events. Francesca is looking for accommodation for August and September, too. If you know of any opportunities, please reach out to both Francesca and me directly.

Overleaf Accounts

by Hector Gutierrez Rufrancos

Folks, There are 3 overleaf accounts available for PhD students, these are available for you to use subject to some constraints. If you use LaTeX I strongly urge you to get one as it will make your life simpler and possibly improve supervision. If I get more than 3 requests I will create some criteria to allocate these. But am minded to give them to more junior members of the programme.

During his visit, he will be available for meetings and research discussions. Tim is a leading expert in experimental economics, resource, and environmental economics.

More information about Tim can be found on his website: [insert website link]. https://sites.google.com/view/tim-cason/research I would invite PhD supervisors to encourage PhD students to meet one-on-one or in a small group with Tim. Let me know if you want to meet and I will arrange.

Fwd: Tutor

by Hector Gutierrez Rufrancos

Hi All, I am uncertain if any of you would be interested in being tutor to Connor. He is looking for support in Year 2 Micro and Macro. If you do take him up on his offer could you please get in touch with Connor and copy me in so I know this is resolved? Otherwise, I need to help find someone else. The rates for tutoring can be set by you in agreement with Connor. For some context, when I was a PhD I used to charge ~25/ph for Econometrics and Stats tutoring. I also have an email in my archive from 2013 (!) suggesting 15/ph to be a reasonable rate then. Adjust to inflation accordingly but I suppose something in the range 20-35 to be about right.
