Initially, it was challenging for me to sufficiently understand Chaumont and Shi&#8217;s work without much prior knowledge of the field of job transitioning and wealth study. With the aid of Professor Argudo who patiently answered all my questions over several meetings, I grasped enough to start my own replication. The process was still demanding, but through trials and errors, I have acquired similar results using the method of Value function iteration (VFI). I am familiar with VFI thanks to ECON 304 with Professor Argudo from the previous semester, but tackling such a task with so much independence as I have in the Ford program was something I have never done before. For me, It was a pleasure to receive this opportunity through Ford to assist in professor Argudo&#8217;s research and challenge myself outside of my comfort zone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/fordscholars\/files\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-22-at-8.52.43-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4124\" src=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/fordscholars\/files\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-22-at-8.52.43-PM-300x278.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/fordscholars\/files\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-22-at-8.52.43-PM-300x278.png 300w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/fordscholars\/files\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-22-at-8.52.43-PM-768x711.png 768w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/fordscholars\/files\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-22-at-8.52.43-PM-1024x947.png 1024w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/fordscholars\/files\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-22-at-8.52.43-PM-624x577.png 624w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/fordscholars\/files\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-07-22-at-8.52.43-PM.png 1604w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/fordscholars\/files\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-08-09-at-11.22.07-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4273\" src=\"http:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/fordscholars\/files\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-08-09-at-11.22.07-PM-300x199.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/fordscholars\/files\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-08-09-at-11.22.07-PM-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/fordscholars\/files\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-08-09-at-11.22.07-PM-768x509.png 768w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/fordscholars\/files\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-08-09-at-11.22.07-PM-1024x678.png 1024w, https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/fordscholars\/files\/2022\/07\/Screen-Shot-2022-08-09-at-11.22.07-PM-624x413.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My work over the Ford period focused on understanding the mechanism described in a paper by Chaumont and Shi, 2022, by replicating it using python.
