Students on the job market

Posted on by

This year we have two students working in the field of Econometrics on the academic job market.

Vishal Kamat works on identification of program effects in settings with latent choice sets; that is, situations where the unobserved heterogeneity that arises when the choice set from which the agent selects treatment is heterogeneous and unobserved by the researcher. You can find his job market paper here.

 

 

 

Eric Mbakop works on identification in auction models with discrete unobserved heterogeneity and incomplete bid data; that is, settings where the econometrician observes an incomplete set of bids from several auctions and does not observe all the variables that affect the distribution of bidders’ valuation.You can find his job market paper here.

This year we have two students working in the field of econometrics on the academic job market.

sofya-01_2-qy5mos-e1476241940353Sofya Budanova is a theoretical econometrician with interests in mixture models. She mainly works on estimation and inference in mixture models with an unknown number of mixtures using penalization methods. You can find her job market paper here.

The Center for Econometrics at Northwestern University will sponsor a conference on Inverse Problems in Econometrics on Friday-Saturday, October 2-3 2015. The conference will consist of approximately 15 presentations of 45 minutes each. Some of the topics that will be included are:

  1. Identification, estimation, and testing of semi- and nonparametric instrumental variables models.
  2. Identification, estimation, and testing of semi- and nonparametric models with random coefficients.
  3. Semi- and nonparametric errors-in-variables models
  4. The role of shape restrictions in identification and estimation.
