DAQA Coffee Klatsch w/Prof. O’Halloran on Trade Policy under the Biden Administration
The DAQA team invites you for a coffee klatsch with our director Professor Sharyn O'Halloran. It will be a great way to connect with her, talk about her work, about DAQA, and her quant-3 level new class on Testing Models in Public Policy. You can watch her on Bloomberg, talking about how Biden's administration will affect global trade or read about her thoughts on the same at MarketPlace. She also recently co-authored a book, called After The Crash (10 years after the 2008 financial crisis) with professor Thomas Groll. You can watch a one-minute documentary of the same here. Professor O' can be followed on Twitter @SharynOHalloran. Both current students and alumni are welcomed to join!
