Cohort
DKS × NeoEcon International Research Cohort
About the Program
Ever wanted to apply your economics knowledge into the real world? We've partnered with NeoEcon to create an opportunity for students passionate about economics and finance to do real research, using primary data from companies with tangible outputs.
Polytec Masterbatch: Selected students will work directly with primary data from this active company, applying economic and financial theory to real business problems.
What Selected Students Will Do
Join a Selective Cohort
Join a selective cohort of globally minded high-school researchers working at the intersection of economics and industry.
Work With Primary Data
Work directly with primary data from an active company (Polytec Masterbatch), not textbook case studies, but real business information.
Apply Economic Theory
Apply economic and financial theory to real business problems, bridging the gap between classroom learning and practical application.
Collaborate & Produce
Collaborate with peers to produce a professional-grade whitepaper that demonstrates genuine analytical capability and research depth.
Gain Publication Exposure
Gain exposure to publication routes including academic journals, conferences, and global distribution platforms.
Why This Matters
Most students learn economics in theory. Very few ever test it against reality.
This program is designed to bridge that gap by building analytical depth, research credibility, and a level of experience that stands out at the highest academic levels. If you're genuinely interested in economics and finance, want to contribute to something real and grow from it, this is an unmissable opportunity for you.
