Federico Bugni joins the Center for Econometrics

Posted on by

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.

Student on the 2021 Job Market

Posted on by


This year we have one student working in the field of Econometrics on the academic job market. Isaac Loh studies identification and estimation in non-parametric instrumental variable (IV) models when both the regressor and the instrument are discrete random variables. His main result shows that even when the instrument is binary, the model is most often point identified via a set of polynomial equations that in turn lead to an estimator. You can find his job market paper here. Additional information can be found on his website: Isaac Loh

This year we have one student working in the field of Econometrics on the academic job market. Max Tabord-Meehan studies how to optimally stratify in randomized controlled experiments using stratification trees in order to obtain estimators of average treatment effects with small variance.
