Keynote Speakers
Stéphane Bonhomme is Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago. His research focuses on microeconometrics. He is interested in the econometric modelling of unobserved heterogeneity, latent variables and panel data. His main area of applications is labor economics, in particular the analysis of earnings inequality and dynamics.
Antonio Galvao is Professor of Economics and the Eller College of Management, the University of Arizona. He earned his PhD in Economics in 2009 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research focuses on econometric theory and applied econometrics. He is particularly interested in models for quantile regression and panel data and has been working on developing the use of quantile preferences in economic models.
Stefanie Schurer is Professor of Economics at the University of Sydney. Her expertise is the economics of human development. She uses big, longitudinal data to model non-cognitive skill dynamics over the lifecycle, to deal with measurement error in skill assessment, and to evaluate the impact of public policy on human development.
Martin Weidner is Professor of Economics at the University of Oxford. Martin's primary research field is econometrics, with a special focus on the analysis of longitudinal data and social networks. His work is concerned with high-dimensional statistical problems that arise in the analysis of microeconomic data. His research on social networks combines methods from statistics and graph theory, and explores new connections between those two fields.
