Rafael Pereira

Economist because I care about questions like "Why do we have a high interest rate in Brazil?", "Why are there nations with a low level of human development?" or even the contemporary "Why are stock exchanges hitting historic highs while the real economy is slipping?" The beauty of modeling forecasts through econometric analysis and calibrating them using historical series is one of the main tools of the contemporary economist, whether he is a financier or a social economist. From there, it's easier to understand my professional direction as an economist with a focus on data analysis and finance.
