Human Capital and Economic Opportunity: A Global Working Group

Elie Tamer

Northwestern University
Professor of Economics

I am an econometrician that is interested in the relationship between models that economists are interested and the data that are observed. In particular, my research is related to the inference question that arises when confronting models with multiple decision makers, such as a family, to data on outcomes from these markets. The link is typically subtle and inference procedures, and the amount of learning that can be done using data, are directly related to the model of interaction that is posed.
