The Center for Econometrics is thrilled to welcome Federico Bugni, who is joining the Department of Economics at Northwestern University in the Fall 2021. Bugni received his Ph.D. from Northwestern University in 2008 and has been at Duke University since then.
Bugni has worked on a wide variety of topics in econometrics, with an emphasis on statistical inference and identification in micro-econometrics. He is known for having tackled challenging open problems in a set of distinct areas, including inference in randomized controlled experiments, randomization tests, estimation and testing in dynamic discrete choice games, high dimensional models, and functional data, among others. He is best known for his contributions to the literature on inference in partially identified models. Bugni is currently an Associate Editor of Quantitative Economics, Journal of Econometrics, Journal of Business and Economic Statistics, and The Econometrics Journal.
