Complexity vs Empirical Score

• Math Complexity: 2.0/10
• Empirical Rigor: 6.0/10
• Quadrant: Street Traders
• Why: The paper focuses on implementing standard financial and econometric methods using Stata commands and data access, making it highly practical and data-driven rather than theoretical.
