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.
