Hi,
My name is Amy and I set up the challenges on Zindi. My background is in maths and physics.
This is the first time I am delving into economics and setting up this challenge has been interesting!
If you're looking for a team introduce yourself here and find a team mate.
Don't worry if you're not a strong coder as ideas are the most important!
Hello, I'm Christian Leigh from Chad. I'm engineer so it'll be a good thing to form a team with you. I'm a french speaker with a mean level in english ☺️

Hello, I am a data scientist (focusing on economic data) with a few years of work experience. I have a public CPI app that includes nowcasting ( https://www.aidanhorn.co.za/inflation/app ), although for this competition I aim to develop my model further to include more variables. ☺ Hopefully I learn a new forecasting technique 😀. My primary language is R, although I have used Python a bit.
You can learn more about time series forecasting at https://www.economodel.com/time-series-analysis-2019 , which is where I also gain my knowledge.
Solid personal website. I expect you to do well in this competition given its in your domain of expertise

Hi, I'm Michael from Cape Town. I am currently in my 3rd year of studying Management Accounting, having also taken extra electives in Investment Management along the way. I have an avid interest in the stock market and the correlation between market performance and the economic and fundamental factors driving it. I have written a white paper regarding this method of qualitative analysis where I attempt to predict future market movements based on macroeconomic indicators and techinical analysis. I have little experience in machine learning and coding, but have always wanted to learn more about it. I feel that this competition might be the perfect introduction. Message me if you want to team-up!
