In addition to full-time graduate study, developed spatial methodology, sourced geospatial data, and maintained geodatabases for a comparative development survey of economic growth advantages conveyed by a location choice of staple crop. Obtained a rich data set from a Chinese census that allowed an in-country test of the research hypothesis before investing a large amount of time and effort with a global investigation. Derived statistics from combinations of mixed spatial data types and developed experience expressing large amounts of information into visually intuitive maps and figures. Completed with ArcGIS and Python scripting with ArcPy, later replicated in R for the global investigation.

Theory and program for detecting sequential learning from repeated games with players of varying expertise. Wrote STATA code to data mine evidence of adaptive learning in experimental data from a double-­elimination rock-­paper-­scissors tournament of the top 12 world poker players. After demonstrating proof of concept, independently found and sourced data from a Facebook game of rock-paper-scissors that expanded the experimental data set from less than 150 observations to millions of observations.

Continuation of the previous internship to finish the corporate crime data set. Began a preliminary impact study of the Sarbanes-­Oxley Act, which had passed since my previous internship ended, completed using SAS, and later handed off to supervisors when the internship ended. Worked with a team of three others to identify valuation ambiguities and valuation overlaps in the proposed 2005 Federal Accounting Standards Board (FASB) rule set.

Washington, Dc

Independently tasked with finding reasons for the 2004 housing bubble that had yet to burst. Compiled an executive report used by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the White House that compared the U.S. to international mortgage markets and analyzed how rent controls, zoning laws, and environmental restrictions contributed to the contemporary housing market bubble.
