Executive Summary from Andrew’s final report: During spring 2013 and the winter break of 2012, I worked at AEI under the Institute's Vice President and Operations Manager for 18 weeks.

The most rewarding aspect of this project was creating a financial tool that will remain relevant for five years, one that improves the operations of a leading public policy organization. In particular, AEI's Vice President used the model's projections daily to pitch the project to the Board of Trustees, negotiate rates with our partners, and secure long-term financing from multinational banks. Over the weeks, I also prepared financial reports based on my model ahead of [JOHN FRENCH MEMORIAL FUND PUBLIC POLICY INTERN PROFILE] “My varied experiences in modeling and research at AEI have affirmed the diverse applications of economics in society and have made me even more excited to build a foundation of knowledge from my Dartmouth coursework.”
