My name is Ignacio Moreira Lara. I am a PhD student in econometrics, statistics, and financial econometrics at the University of Duisburg-Essen and TU Dortmund University. My research focuses on macroeconometrics, particularly the use of vector autoregressions in economic research. I have an academic background in economics and econometrics. As a consultant for DZK.2R, I work with real-world economic data, apply statistical methods for data analysis, and use R and MATLAB for programming and empirical research. My skills also include LaTeX.
