SITE Summer Workshop 2007 - Theory-Based Micro-Econometric Modeling.

This session will bring together scholars undertaking theory-based empirical research in all fields of microeconomics - Labor Economics, Industrial Organization (IO), Public Finance, Environmental Economics and Urban Economics. Recent advances in econometric techniques and increases in computational power have many it possible to estimate econometrically extremely rich models of economic behavior. Although the economic questions addressed by these modeling exercises can be quite different, the econometric procedures and economic theory modeling frameworks employed share many common features. Consequently, the goal of this session is bring together a diverse group of researchers from all fields of empirical microeconomics to share the latest methodological and empirical results obtained by applying these empirical methodologies with other fields in empirical microeconomics.
