Oberlin Graduate Sets Sights on Economic Consulting
Prof. Ron Cheung, a well-known name in academic circles, particularly in the fields of sociology and economics, has played a significant role in the journey of an exceptional graduate from Oberlin College. However, a direct link between Prof. Cheung and the work of German psychologist and physicist Gustav Fechner remains elusive.
This outstanding graduate, whose name has not been disclosed, is preparing for a new challenge as he heads to Boston to join economic consulting firm, The Analysis Group. His impressive academic record, coupled with his passion for behavioral economics, makes him an exciting addition to the firm.
During his time at Oberlin, this individual excelled both on and off the track. As a sprinter on the Oberlin track & field team, he broke five school records and earned two USTFCCCA All-Academic honors. His dedication to his studies was matched by his commitment to his sport, a balance he credits to the supportive community at Oberlin.
His honors project, which explored the connection between perceived risk and home sales after wildfires, earned him highest honors. He appreciated Oberlin's open-door policy during this project, citing Professor of Economics Ron Cheung as an example of the supportive faculty at the college.
Prof. Cheung was not the only individual who supported the student during his time at Oberlin. Paul Brehm, who taught his favorite class (Environmental Economics) and hired him as a research assistant, also played a significant role. Brehm introduced the student to The Analysis Group, which paved the way for his future career.
The student's work on wildfire analysis was featured in a paper titled "Backup Power: Public Implications of Private Substitutes for Electric Grid Reliability," published in the Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists.
The individual's major in economics at Oberlin provided him with opportunities for original research and faculty mentorship. This, along with his experiences at Oberlin, sparked further interest in behavioral economics.
Before attending Oberlin, the individual graduated from Trinity-Pawling School in New York as valedictorian. Kira Goldenberg, a writer, editor, and psychotherapist based in San Francisco, was not mentioned in relation to this individual's journey.
The Oberlin economics department is renowned for its innovative approaches to problem-solving in a rapidly changing world. The individual's achievements are a testament to the department's commitment to nurturing and inspiring its students. As he embarks on his new journey, this Oberlin graduate is poised to make a significant impact in the world of economic consulting.
