Research

research overview

  • My research interests are in the fields of Econometrics and Applied Microeconomics. My current research emphasizes estimation methods in evaluating the extent of strategic, social and spatial interactions among economic agents. Topical applications include efficient estimation of spatial autoregressive models, specification and estimation of social interaction models with network structures, and structural estimation of experimental games and empirical auctions.

    Provides undergraduate economics majors with an introduction to econometric theory and practice. Develops the multiple regression model and problems encountered in its application in lecture and individual applied projects.
  • ECON 7828 - Econometrics
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2018 / Spring 2019 / Spring 2020 / Spring 2021 / Spring 2022 / Spring 2023 / Spring 2024
    An introduction to estimation and inference for linear and nonlinear parametric models of regression, including least squares, method of moments and maximum likelihood estimation. Instructor consent required.
  • ECON 8828 - Econometric Theory 1
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2019 / Fall 2024
    Estimation and inference for micro-econometric models. Topics may include semi- and non-parametric econometric/statistical models; Bayesian estimation and inference; models for high dimensional data; simulation-based estimation methods. The course can be taken independently or in conjunction with 8838 to make a two-semester sequence in econometric theory.
  • ECON 8838 - Econometric Theory 2
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2018
    Estimation and inference for models for dependent data. Topics may include linear and non-linear time series, spatial and network models. The course can be taken independently or in conjunction with 8828 to make a two-semester sequence in econometric theory.
