Student reviews

Jianfei is a really cool guy and probably the best econometrician on Northeastern's faculty right now. If you can, take a course with him before you graduate. It will probably be pretty difficulty, but he is laid back and wants people to succeed. He is teaching ECON2560 in the fall and I think he will be a great prof for that course.ECON6140 2024-03-20 12:08:00 +0000 UTC
