Welcome! I'm a joint Economics & Statistics PhD candidate at MIT, and I received my A.B. in Mathematics from Harvard College. I'm interested in applied decision theory, local asymptotic optimality, and misspecification-aware procedures.
My email is rickyli@mit.edu. You can find my Google Scholar page here and my CV here.
