The Laboratory of Analysis-Research in Quantitative Economics ( French: Laboratoire dAnalyse-Recherche en Economie Quantitative, LAREQ) is a project created in 2012 at the initiative of Jean-Paul K. Tsasa to propose a new order in research in economics departments of the congolese universities. [1] LAREQ is composed of academics and researchers from three main Congolese universities including: University of Kinshasa, [2] Protestant University at Congo, [3] and Catholic University of Congo, [4] and it is directed by a Resident Coordinator and a Deputy Coordinator. [5] [6]
The general objective of LAREQ is to play an active role in the development and application of modern macroeconomic modeling in developing countries in Africa. [7]
This general goal can be broken down into two more specific objectives:
LAREQ publishes papers, under the rubric of "One pager" for undergraduate and graduate students, and belongs to the Congolese research network in quantitative economics. [8] Since 2013, LAREQ began publish the Makroeconomica Review, a journal devoted to the development and applications of Dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models in developing countries in Africa. [9]
LAREQ organizes training, workshops and seminars and participates in the supervision of master and PhD dissertations. [10]
The LAREQ awards annually the LAREQ Medal of Excellence for outstanding research accomplishments in economics to an African mathematician or economist under the age of 30. [11] The objective of this award is to encourage research at an early age. The winner for 2014 is the Ivorian economist engineer Kone N'Gole.
