Welcome to the homepage of Rebecca Sela.

I was a student at Swarthmore College, with a math major, an economics minor, and a computer science concentration. I then spent two years working at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Some of my jobs included maintaining the website with regional coincident economic indexes and the webpage with a coincident indicator for the technology sector. I am now a Ph.D. student in the statistics department at the Stern School of Business at New York University. I am also the proud mom of Jonah (born September 2006).

Here is more information pertaining to me and to things that interest me.

• My webpage at New York University, including more information on my research and teaching
• R code for multivariate long memory models (FIVAR and VARFI)
• A page of my favorite books about parenting.
• A paper on the distribution of science majors by gender over two years.
• A paper on the effects of having older women (faculty and students) in the sciences on the number of female majors.
• Summaries of Classes I Have Taken
• Calculator Applet Written for a Class
