Overall Research Project Description:
Collecting data on mutual funds or ETFS, or applying machine learning to such data.

Research Tasks:
literature review, data collection, data analysis

Skills that research assistant(s) may need::
If the student expects to stay at FSU for the coming 3-4 years, I will train him or her, so I don't expect as much. If the student expects to graduate in the next year or so, I expect familiarity with Stata or R or Python or Matlab.

Mentoring Philosophy:
As an economist, my mentoring style is laissez-faire, although I will try to pressure the student so he or she can stay motivated. Honestly, I think it's best to talk in-person, and the student can make decisions as to whether he or she is interested.
