The Laboratory of Analysis-Research in Quantitative Economics (French: Laboratoire dAnalyse-Recherche en Economie Quantitative, LAREQ) is a project created in 2012 at the initiative of Jean-Paul K. Tsasa to propose a new order in research in economics departments of the congolese universities.[1] LAREQ is composed of academics and researchers from three main Congolese universities including: University of Kinshasa,[2] Protestant University at Congo,[3] and Catholic University of Congo,[4] and it is directed by a Resident Coordinator and a Deputy Coordinator.[5][6]

## Objectives

The general objective of LAREQ is to play an active role in the development and application of modern macroeconomic modeling in developing countries in Africa.[7]

This general goal can be broken down into two more specific objectives:

* The production and diffusion of research
* The coaching and training of students

### The production and diffusion of research

LAREQ publishes papers, under the rubric of "One pager" for undergraduate and graduate students, and belongs to the Congolese research network in quantitative economics.[8] Since 2013, LAREQ began publish the Makroeconomica Review, a journal devoted to the development and applications of Dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models in developing countries in Africa.[9]

### The coaching and training of students

LAREQ organizes training, workshops and seminars and participates in the supervision of master and PhD dissertations.[10]

## LAREQ Medal of Excellence

The LAREQ awards annually the LAREQ Medal of Excellence for outstanding research accomplishments in economics to an African mathematician or economist under the age of 30.[11] The objective of this award is to encourage research at an early age. The winner for 2014 is the Ivorian economist engineer Kone N'Gole.
