Pros
This is the place that economic department offers relevant research experience to master economics students on campus. And you can get some payment to compensate your tuition fee.
Cons
Though the jobs are offered by IED, in fact, the research assistant job that master students get are to work for PhD students from economics department. All the mentors are PhD students in senior years who want assistant to help their research project or papers. The attractiveness of work varies within mentors. Some get more programming work while others may do very boring data work. The time schedule also varies depending on who is your mentor.
