Are you interested in doing research in economics this summer?
You will be working with Kyel Governor, founder of the GSR Community, on production function estimation. Specifically, we will be replicating a GMM-IV and simulating data to test the results of the estimation.
Sounds very technical? Don't worry! This summer research is a learning opportunity designed to teach you and the project is the hands-on learning activity. You will improve your skills in coding, econometrics, and economic research.
We meet for 2 hours once a week on Wednesday at 4 pm GMT for 6 weeks starting July 8, 2026.

Mythology of the Global South (coming soon)
What is our narrative?
Art guides culture. This is a massive arts, history and philosophy movement to create a common narrative across the Global South.
All historians, philosophers, and artists - poets, storytellers, visual artists, musicians, performance artists, and more - are welcomed.
South to South International Relations (coming soon)
What new relations can we develop between countries in the Global South?
Economic development depends on trade, which depends on good relationships.

Global South Bank (coming soon)
Can we develop monetary and fiscal systems that help us manage development better?
The current international financial system and structures have not delivered on promises for the Global South.

GS LLM (AI) Project (coming soon)
Can we build a LLM that understands the Global South context?
Will the Global South lead the innovation in LLM and AI or will we continue to borrow technology?
Health Practices (coming soon)
What are practices that we can employ to improve health outcomes?
Health is essential to living quality lives. It is becoming more essential that we develop practices that are attune with the challenges in the 21st century - rising health care costs, sedentary lifestyles, and unhealthy foods.
Relevant Infrastructure (coming soon)
What does building smart in the Global South mean?
Designing smart cities is difficult, especially within the Global South's unique context. Regions in the Global South can be densely populated, very rural, or experience challenging weather patterns and geographies. Additionally, many existing infrastructure were developed for colonial purposes.
Let's explore infrastructure that makes sense for the Global South.
GS Magazine (recruiting now)
What should people in the Global South know about?
Media is the most effective form of daily education. We need writers, graphic designers, and publishers who can promote Global South education.
