Opportunity Cost
Opportunity cost is about the everyday decisions we make, the unseen costs behind them, and understanding what we give up for what we choose.
Hi, I’m Feda.
I study Quantitative Economics and Mathematics at Berea College, with a minor in Computer Science. I am interested in development economics and in questions at the intersection of AI, poverty, and education.
I study these using data, statistical models, and causal methods, including econometrics, causal inference, and causal machine learning. I believe quantitative tools should do more than predict. They should help us understand why problems exist and what actually works to fix them.
Beyond academics, I enjoy reading and writing. On this site you will find some of my writings, reflections, and notes on the books I read. I also enjoy meeting new people, so please get in touch.
