Hi, I’m Kevin.

I am currently an Associate at PwC in London.

Previously, I was a researcher with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), where I worked on inclusive growth, co-authoring several publications.

I did my masters at the London School of Economics (LSE), receiving the Prize for Best Overall Performance. Prior to my masters, I completed a BSc from King’s College London. In High School (in the United States), I received the National AP Scholar award for academic achievement.

My main research interests lie in the application of causal econometrics, latent variable modelling, and game theoretic modelling in researching topics in political economy. I use R, Python, Stata, and Julia for data analysis.

Aside from my work and research, I am also a violinist and pianist.

 

I have included my papers/publications, econometrics resources, and music recordings in this portfolio.

For my CV, see my LinkedIn. Contact me at k.l.li1@lse.ac.uk.
