about	name Miklós Koren
cards	copy image I always wanted to be both an economist and a programmer. I love how computers can solve all kinds of problems through systematic thinking. Learning software engineering practices has transformed how I do research. Having clear structures in place actually gives me more freedom to explore new ideas. /assets/images/koren-computer.png image copy /assets/images/varmilo-keyboard.jpg Software engineering practices make economic research more reproducible and collaborative. They help us work confidently with large datasets while making the research process more systematic and enjoyable. image copy /assets/images/marti-et-al.jpg I apply these methods in my research and teaching at CEU, helping students combine economic thinking with coding skills. As Data Editor of the Review of Economic Studies, I work with economists to make their research reproducible. Through this website and my software tools in Stata, Python and Julia, I share practical approaches to better research.
