PhD Applicant

Felipe Diogo Camêlo

Statement of Purpose Dear Admissions Committee Members, I am a second-year Master student at Getulio Vargas Foundation’s Graduate School of Economics (FGV EPGE), in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. As naïve as it may sound, the idea of becoming a researcher has been more than a goal to me, it became my life’s project almost a decade ago, even before I decided to study economics. Both my father, who holds a PhD in mechanical engineering, and my mother, who is a Medical Doctor, instilled into me the idea that research has not only the purpose of generating scientific advancements, but also of having a positive impact on society. In my high school senior year, however, I had many doubts about which major I was going to choose. Although my family’s background and my high school’s curriculum influenced me towards the natural sciences, I did not feel excited about the field. On the other hand, as I started to learn about the several macroeconomic stabilization plans that were put into practice in Brazil during the 80’s and the 90’s and about those involved in them, a career as an economist seemed like a perfect fit for me. Economics presented itself not only as an exciting academic field but as a science that has direct impact on everyday life. In order to become an economist, I took the entrance exams to the major economics undergraduate programs in Rio de Janeiro and I was, due to my performance in the exams, admitted with full scholarships to both the programs of FGV EPGE and Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), two of the leading Economics schools in the country. In the end, I decided to join FGV EPGE, as it provided a stronger link between its graduate and undergraduate programs and its curriculum was, without a doubt, stronger in quantitative skills, which would be essential if I were to become an actual economist, and not only a bachelor in economics. During my first two year as an undergraduate, I took several quantitative courses, such as univariate and multivariate calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, probability theory, statistics and introductory computer science. Having excelled at these courses, the idea of pursuing graduate studies became even stronger, but I also felt the need to enhance my language skills and to experience what it would be like to live abroad. As a consequence, I applied and got accepted, with a full scholarship, to a one-year exchange program at Sciences Po, Paris. At Sciences Po, I took 12 courses, mostly in Economics. The experience was extremely enriching, as I was able to practice my writing and presenting skills both in English and French and to experience an exciting academic environment at one of the most important European universities. After returning to Brazil, I received an internship offer to work as a research intern at BBM Investments, a well-known Brazilian hedge fund with a strong focus on economic research. Even though it was not part of my initial plans, I thought that it would be an interesting challenge and a good opportunity to learn from doing applied research. I surely learned a lot from my peers, who all had solid academic backgrounds, but, at the same time, I felt that there was a lack of depth in the analysis, always being pressed to deliver answers as fast as possible, even if they were not as accurate as they could be. Accordingly, I left my position and started to work on my undergraduate thesis, being advised by professor Fernando de Holanda Barbosa (PhD, Chicago), which was published in one of the most prestigious Economics journals in Brazil (Revista Brasileira de Economia). At the same time, I prepared myself for the Brazilian National Economics Graduate Admissions Exam (ANPEC). My dedication paid off as I ranked 3rd out of around 1400 candidates (99.7 percentile) and, thereby, had the possibility to choose which program I would join, with a right to a fellowship from the government at any of them. Due to a stronger program in terms of coursework and of research production of its professors, I chose to continue my studies at FGV EPGE. 1 12/18/2017 15:27

In my first year as a master student, I was able to receive graduate-level training in Mathematics, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics and Econometrics. My good performance in core courses led to an invitiation to work, in my second year, as a teaching assistant for professor Humberto Moreira (PhD, IMPA) in the course Mathematical Analysis II, which focuses on Metric Spaces and optimization methods, and for professors Cezar Santos (PhD, Penn) and Fernando de Holanda Barbosa in the course Macroeconomic Theory II, which focuses on the study of business cycle models. I was also invited by professor Santos to work as his research assistant, helping in two different articles. In the first one, “Marriage Sorting, Resource Allocation and Agricultural Productivity”, I wrote a Matlab code to solve the static problem of the household and I also helped with the calibration of the model. I was just hired to help in the second one, “An Equilibrium Model of the African HIV/AIDS Epidemic”, which is coauthored by professors Jeremy Greenwood (Penn), Phillip Kircher (EUI and University of Edinburgh) and Michèle Tertilt (University of Mannheim) and is in the third round of revision for Econometrica. My research interests are still fairly broad, but concentrate mostly in Macroeconomics and Financial Economics. This motivated me to take elective courses in many different fields: Theory (Advanced Economic Theory I, Contract Theory II), Development economics, Finance, Macroeconomics (Macrofinance, Computational Methods for Economists, Family Economics I and II). However, no other course caught my attention as the Macrofinance one taught by professor Felipe Iachan (PhD, MIT). This motivated me to work in the field under his guidance, after submitting a project to his scrutiny. In our work, we are investigating how Brazilian firms make decisions regarding capital stock investment. Even though firm dynamics have been thoroughly explored in developed countries, little is known when it comes to developing economies, especially due to data unavailability. Using establishment-level data from an annual Brazilian manufacturing survey of around 50000 firms, we aim to answer four questions: (i) What is the behavior displayed by key statistics of capital investment? (ii) How irregular is the investment decision of Brazilian firms? (iii) How does the accumulation of capital change according to the observable characteristics of firms such as size and revenue? (iv) How does the micro behavior of investment help us understand its aggregate behavior and the business cycle? By answering theses questions, we hope to fill a gap in the literature and also to provide useful insights for economic policy. Due to my background and to my research interests, I firmly believe that the Department of Economics at the New York University is a great place to continue my academic training. It not only has one of the strongest Economics programs in the world, with an excellent graduate placement, but also, if admitted, it would allow me to learn from and to work closely to professors that I have learned to admire such as professor Sargent, whose books and articles are essential readings to any macroeconomist, professor Gertler, whose contributions to Monetary Economics and Business Cycle Theory are remarkable and whose 1989 AER article “Agency Costs, Net Worth, and Business Fluctuations” was one of the most interesting papers I read during the Macrofinance course, and professor Midrigan, whose work I started following after reading his 2013 AER article “Finance and Misallocation: Evidence from Plant-Level Data”. Completing the Economics PhD at NYU would be a fundamental step to achieve my career goal of becoming a frontier researcher at a major academic institution. At the same time, I truly believe that, after a long preparation, I have a lot to offer to the department, thanks to my skills and determination. I would like to thank you for the time and for the consideration of my application. If you feel that anything is unclear or if you have any other doubts, please do not hesitate to contact me or any faculty member at FGV EPGE. With gratitude,

Felipe Diogo Camêlo. 2 12/18/2017 15:27

Research Experience

2017

Research Assistant for Prof. Cézar Santos, FGV EPGE 1. (February-April/2017) I helped him and his coauthors in the working paper “Marriage Sorting, Resource Allocation and Agricultural Productivity”. I wrote a code in Matlab to solve the household’s static optimization problem that appears in the first model of the article, double checked the derivations made by the authors and provided inputs related to the calibration of the model.
