Among the many activities I have there, I am the teaching assistant (TA) for CEE123, which is an undergraduate senior class created to teach the 4-step modeling process to senior undergraduate and graduate students.

When working with freight modeling, often analyses use aggregate data like sector employment, GDP, number of firms and other statistics the Census provides. It becomes, then, an econometric exercise […]
