Shoutout to Emilio Cesar Espino (@utditella ) as he concludes his semester long visit during which he taught half of 1st yr PhD Macro 2, a mini-course on International Macro, presented his research at our macro seminar and met with PhD students and faculty.
Last day of class pic. And probably my last ever class as a student. The pic is from a mini-course on Macro-Finance offered by Emilio Espinosa (@utditella) who was visiting our department for the semester.
