The '''Laboratory of Analysis-Research in Quantitative Economics''' ({{lang-fr|'''L'''aboratoire d''''A'''nalyse-'''R'''echerche en '''E'''conomie '''Q'''uantitative}}, 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 [[List of universities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo|congolese universities]].<ref>[http://www.congoopportunities.net/les-jeunes-economistes-congolais-creent-le-lareq/ Congo Opportunities Media: "Les jeunes économistes congolais créent le LAREQ", Kinshasa, April 14, 2012]</ref>

LAREQ is composed of academics and researchers from three main Congolese universities including: [[University of Kinshasa]],<ref>[http://www.unikin.cd/ University of Kinshasa {{lang-fr|Université de Kinshasa}}]</ref>, Protestant University at Congo,<ref>[http://www.upc.ac.cd/ Université Protestante au Congo {{lang-fr|Protestant University at Congo}}]</ref>, and Catholic University of Congo,<ref>[http://www.ucc.ac.cd/ Catholic University of Congo {{lang-fr|Université Catholique du Congo]}}</ref>, and it is directed by a Resident Coordinator and a Deputy Coordinator.<ref>[http://www.congoopportunities.net/lareq-plus-dun-an-de-dynamisme-bilan-et-perspectives/ : "LAREQ, plus d’un an de dynamisme : Bilan et Perspectives", Kinshasa, September 30, 2013]</ref><ref>[http://www.lareq.com/?lg=En Laboratory of Analysis-Research in Quantitative Economics (LAREQ)]</ref>

==Objectives==

The general objective of LAREQ is to play an active role in the development and application of modern [[Macroeconomicmacroeconomic model|macroeconomic modeling]]ing in [[Developing country|developing countries]] in [[Africa]].<ref>[http://www.lareq.com/statuts-lareq.ws The Statutes of LAREQ]</ref>

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

===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.<ref>[http://www.groupemegc.com/ Groupe MEGC (Computable general equilibrium Modeling)]</ref>. Since 2013, LAREQ began publish the Makroeconomica Review, a journal devoted to the development and applications of [[Dynamic stochastic general equilibrium]] [[Economic model|models]] in developing countries in Africa.<ref>[http://www.makroeconomica.org Makroeconomica Review]</ref>
