My primary research interest lies
in adopting structured, non-equilibrium behavioral models with
appealing positive properties as the basis for inference and
counter-factual analysis in economic problems. Inference using
models that relax the equilibrium hypothesis of behavior provides both
a mechanism for protecting against model mis-specification as well as a
tool for evaluating behavioral hypotheses using field data. In
addition to helping characterize economic problems and individual
behavior in the field, these models generate robust counter-factual
predictions and prescriptions for incorporating data into the decision
making process.Primary Fields: Econometrics, Financial Economics, Industrial Organization Secondary Fields: Behavioral Economics, Game Theory I'll be participating the 2009-2010 Job Market for Economists and attending the 2010 ASSA Conference in Atlanta. |
