Global Macro Investing · March 2026
An empirical examination of macroeconomic drivers of UK long-term interest rates and the 2026 outlook.
What I worked on

- Estimated lagged-variable OLS regressions in Stata and compared alternative specifications.
- Connected the empirical evidence to a discussion of UK long-term interest rates in 2026.
