AEASP 2025 Scholar Philippe Nguendang

Hi, I'm Philippe Ronald Nguendang, an aspiring economist fueled by the entrepreneurial spirit passed down from my Cameroonian parents. Growing up in Chicago, a vibrant melting pot of cultures, ignited my curiosity about the concept of pursuit. Being surrounded by such a rich array of perspectives has deepened my passion for collectivism. As I pursue a double major in finance and economics at Howard University, I've delved into the roles that institutions and intergenerational wealth transfer play in economic growth and development, and I'm eager to expand my research in a Ph.D. program, where I plan to incorporate behavioral economics and finance as key pillars of my work.
