    <p><strong><span>About the Office of Research (OR):</span></strong></p>
    <p><span> </span></p>
    <p><span>The Office of Research (OR) in the Research, Markets, and Regulations Division (RMR) is realizing the CFPB’s mission by bringing an empirical, data-driven approach to the analysis of consumer financial markets.  OR provides the main analytics to understand consumer behavior and support the Bureau’s actions in policymaking, supervision, and enforcement.</span></p>
    <p><span> </span></p>
    <p><strong><u><span>OR Research Assistant</span></u></strong><u><span> <strong>Program</strong></span></u></p>
    <p><span> </span></p>
    <p><span>The OR Research Assistant Program is a fellowship program that was developed for graduating undergraduates (recent December 2020 and May/June 2021 graduates may apply) who are interested in spending two-four years in the Office of Research working alongside </span><span>Ph.D. social scientists from different disciplines (e.g., economics, judgment and decision making, and cognitive sciences) that design and conduct foundational, policy-relevant research on consumer finance and household decision-making related to financial products and services.  In addition, OR conducts essential analytics to support the Bureau’s actions in policy-making, supervision, and enforcement.</span><span>  Ideally, the candidates’ time with our office would prepare them for future graduate programs such as Ph.D. programs in economics and finance, Master of Public Policy, and other graduate fields.  Successful candidates will have a proven track record of academic excellence in one or more of the following areas: economics, mathematics, statistics, computer science, or decision making and cognitive sciences.  Experience in Stata, R, Python, or SAS programming is also key.  Strong written and verbal communication skills are a must, as is the demonstrated ability to work in a fast-paced multidisciplinary environment.  </span></p>

    <p><strong><span>About the Office of Research (OR):</span></strong></p>
    <p><span> </span></p>
    <p><span>The Office of Research (OR) in the Research, Markets, and Regulations Division (RMR) is realizing the CFPB’s mission by bringing an empirical, data-driven approach to the analysis of consumer financial markets.  OR provides the main analytics to understand consumer behavior and support the Bureau’s actions in policymaking, supervision, and enforcement.</span></p>
    <p><span> </span></p>
    <p><strong><u><span>OR Research Assistant</span></u></strong><u><span> <strong>Program</strong></span></u></p>
    <p><span> </span></p>
    <p><span>The OR Research Assistant Program is a fellowship program that was developed for graduating undergraduates (recent December 2020 and May/June 2021 graduates may apply) who are interested in spending two-four years in the Office of Research working alongside </span><span>Ph.D. social scientists from different disciplines (e.g., economics, judgment and decision making, and cognitive sciences) that design and conduct foundational, policy-relevant research on consumer finance and household decision-making related to financial products and services.  In addition, OR conducts essential analytics to support the Bureau’s actions in policy-making, supervision, and enforcement.</span><span>  Ideally, the candidates’ time with our office would prepare them for future graduate programs such as Ph.D. programs in economics and finance, Master of Public Policy, and other graduate fields.  Successful candidates will have a proven track record of academic excellence in one or more of the following areas: economics, mathematics, statistics, computer science, or decision making and cognitive sciences.  Experience in Stata, R, Python, or SAS programming is also key.  Strong written and verbal communication skills are a must, as is the demonstrated ability to work in a fast-paced multidisciplinary environment.  </span></p>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>Dear Economic Students,</div>
    <div>It is officially spring recruiting season!  The Careers Center has a multitude of resources especially with the Feb 5th virtual career fair event occurring this Friday.  Many employers will be present, so please be sure to register now.</div>
    <div>
    <br>Additionally, there are two events outside of the career fair you may be interested in.  The first, is an EY information session sponsored by the Accounting Club on Monday Feb 8th at noon.  The link to the event is on the accounting club site, but I am also attaching a flyer in this post.  This event is for UMBC students interested in both internships as well as full-time offers in tax, accounting, and economics.</div>
    <div>
    <br>KPMG is also offering a series of webinars for students considering various jobs, beyond accounting and tax.  Their events will highlight various employment considerations for students and are also posted on the UMBC Career website.  Both companies are accepting applications now with deadlines at or near the end of the month.  </div>

<Title>Professor Lamdin's article on COVID and the stock market</Title>
<Tagline>Lesson: Don't sell after a big market decline</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <h2>Abstract</h2>
    <div>
    <p>COVID‐19 was a shock to financial markets. On March 23, 2020 the S&amp;P 500 index had fallen by over 31% from its closing value on the first trading day of the year and the NASDAQ index fell nearly 25%. Volatility increased. The CBOE VIX Index and trading volume spiked in March and remained elevated. But by mid‐November, the S&amp;P 500 index was above its beginning of the year value by 10% and the NASDAQ index was 30% above. During large market declines, history tells us that investors can be rewarded if they buy, while withstanding the urge to sell. Surveys of investors, as well as those who provide investment advice, suggest that these history lessons were known and those who followed them, were well‐served. However, the COVID‐19 pandemic reinforces these lessons for investors and their advisors when encountering the next large market decline.</p>
    <p>The entire article, and related articles, are available on the Financial Planning Review website.</p>
