I am a third year PhD student in the Department of Economics at George Mason University. Of late I have been working on two questions. One, why firms exist. Two, why economies go through ups and downs (business cycles)? I have some experience programming in python.

Project idea: Firms, nation states, human beings and stars all die. Do the causes of "death" in physical, biological and social systems have something in common? If yes, what is it?
