Aishameriane Schmidt
Goedendag!
I am a third year Ph.D candidate at the Econometrics Institute - Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam & Tinbergen Institute (TI) in partnership with De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB). My supervisors are dr A. Pick, dr A. Naghi, and prof dr C. Zhou is my promotor.
You can find more about my background in the CV section.
My research interests are mostly linked to macroeconometrics: I use econometric tools to solve macroeconomic problems. In my Ph.D., I am investigating how to use machine learning methods to solve different macroeconomic questions and how to compare these methods with traditional econometric tools. You can find more about my work in the Research section.
