Projects & Solutions

Here you will find some of my postgraduate projects, presentations and solutions to high-level exercises.

Game Theory

Here you will find 4 exercises based on Simplex algorithms, cooperative & non-cooperative games and game trees. These were projects delivered for grading during my 1st M.Sc. spring course: Algorithmic Game Theory. They were each graded with a 10/10 and a course final of an A+. The coordinator and professor of the course was Nikolaos Sofronidis, a mathematician with emphasis on Game Theory and Economic Analysis, with a PhD from CalTech.

Energy Economics

Here you can find all my homeworks, class discussions, projects and final presentation for the Energy Economics course that I took during my 2nd M.Sc. in UC3M, Spain. The succesful passing of the 2-part module (EE 1 & 2) resulted to a professional diploma on energy, transport and telecommunication economics in adition to my Master of Science title. The coordinator and main lecturer was Paulina Beato, the first female president of a Spanish public cmpany, creator of Redelectrica, and heading member of the committee of the banking supervision division of IMF.

Financial Economics

During my 2nd MSc in UC3M I had to undertake several Financial Economcis and Business modules. During module No3 we had to present a final project for the Value-at-Risk formula. My team chose eight stocks, and computed their log- returns. We had to compute the variance-covariance matrix of these stock returns, look at the matrix values, and form two groups: Portfolio A, which contains the four stocks more (positive) correlated among them, and Portfolio B, which groups the four stocks opposite correlated among them. Finally we had to decompose the VaR model and based on the parametric linear model, calculate the marginal 1% 1-month VaR associated to each stock in both percentages and in cash values while considering a re-balancing scenario and compute the incremental VaR associated to the new portfolio composition.

Economics of Labor

This is my first research project I ever engaged with. It is a small field experiment with Greek Student Data on the performance as a full time enrolled student while working a side job. Does College Employ-ment affect Academic Perfor-mance?
I worked on this little "
paper" for my 1st M.Sc. spring semester course: Labor Economics.

Coding Projects

1. Industrial Organization Model Solver in C++

This is a computing program in C++ that solves Cournot and Stackelberg duopoly models. The Eclipse.IDE code and the latex Pdf version of the project are included. Click the picture for the code files and settings of the app.

2. Simple Linear Regression in Excel

This is a simple econometrics program in Excel that performs a simple linear regression pro-cedure. It also contains sheets from Program 3 "OLS in steps".

3. OLS with Matrix notation Step-by-Step in Excel

This is a step-by-step matrix procedure to calculate the OLS estimator.

4. Hypothesis Testing in Excel

This is a step-by-step hypothesis testing procedure that follows a random generation of input data.

5. The "New Wold Order" Development Index

This is a computing program in R, that engages with big data visualisation, plotting, clustering and Principal Component and Factor Analysis. I developed it during my MSc. Stats and Multivariate Analysis course in UC3M and was graded with a 9/10. You can find my code, files and outputs bu clicking on the picture.
