Business Cycle Project was the first large project that was part of our curriculum, worth 8 study credits it's was the highest amount achievable for one course in the first semester.

The project was all about getting an insight in the economic indicators, on Macro and Micro level.

I found it a very interesting, but at the time a complicated, project because most of the variables we had to analyze were new to me and the rest of the group.

At the end after a lot of hard work we received an 8.0 for the complete project, the BCP project was most usefull to discover what the other students had to offer and what I could expect from them, which resulted in a number of project together with N. Pol, P. Keijman and W. Tichelaar.

As an attachment you can find the final version of the Business Cycle Project, covering the Netherlands, it's financial sector and the ING-Groep and Fortis.
