Economics in Action: Policy Relevant Research

This brown bag seminar will outline the policy relevant topics I have researched and are currently working on at this time. The discussion will focus on the empirical tools used and how they can be used to better inform policy. Attention will be given to the importance of incorporating agent heterogeneity and dynamic behavior to obtain more realistic profiles of human behavior. Emphasis will also be given to the interdisciplinary nature of my research and its advantage in being able to facilitate policy.
