Dear all,
Today at Applied
Stats<http://projects.iq.harvard.edu/applied_stats> we will be
hearing from Stefan Hoderlein (Harvard Economics) who will be speaking on "Consumer
Demand and Welfare Estimation in a Heterogeneous Population." As per usual, the talk
will be held in CGIS
K354<http://map.harvard.edu/?bld=04471&level=9> at 12 noon
and lunch will be served.
Abstract:
This is an overview about own recent econometric work related to the modeling of
heterogeneity in applied consumer demand models. The focus will be on non-parametric
random coefficient models. The main application will come from estimating gasoline
demand; in particular, estimating the distribution of welfare effects of a 5% gasoline
price change.
I hope to see you all there!
Tess
