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.

Graduate Students
Student on the Market
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. You can find here job market paper here. Additional information can be found on her website: Max Tabord-Meehan
Students on the job market
This year we have two students working in the field of econometrics on the academic job market.
Sofya 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.
Sergey Gitlin is a theoretical econometrician with interests in high dimensional models. He mainly works in developing regression methods that allow for a large number of regressors while delivering valid asymptotic confidence intervals for the coefficients of interest. You can find his job market paper here.
