Dr Rachida Ouysse
I completed my PhD in Economics with specialisation in Econometrics at Boston College in 2003. Prior to joining UNSW, I held several teaching and research appointments at Boston College and University of Montreal. I have also been a visiting academic at the Risk Management Institute in Singapore, Department of Economics in San Diego USA, Department of Economics at University College Dublin, Ireland, and European Centre for Applied Research in Economics and Statistics (ECARES) in Brussels.
