Average
Professor Blanchenay has a very thick accent and his three hour class is very boring. He curves up though, so that is a good thing. Be careful of those assignments, they can be a perfect 30% of your grade, but you have to work for that!

Poor
Professor Blanchenay is difficult to understand. His slides were disorganized, as well as his lectures. The problem sets had incorrect values or answers. On the other hand, he's a nice guy with a really good style, but that doesn't make up for the rest of it.

Capgemini
Analysing patterns of productivity and employment using firm-level data across OECD countries. An important part of the project is measuring and analysing how well economies allocate resources to their most productive elements
and whether this has changed following the 2007 crisis. We also look at how heterogeneous productivity can be across firms and whether there is any link with increasing wage inequality.\n\nThe project is based on statistical routines we develop and run by national experts on firm-level data.
