For GRIPS Students

I am happy to advise students interested in empirical research using econometric methods, particularly causal inference techniques. If you would like me to be your advisor, please first take a look at some of my work to get a sense of the kind of research I conduct, and then send me a short research proposal (no longer than one page). Your proposal should include the following:

  • Research Question – What is the central question you want to answer?
  • Motivation – Why is this question important, both academically and practically?
  • Method and Data – What empirical strategy and data are you considering? I understand that when writing the proposal, most master’s students have only just begun learning basic econometrics. So, your ideas on empirical strategy may be quite preliminary at this stage - just outline them as best as you can.

I would like to have a meeting to discuss your proposal before deciding whether to accept you as an advisee.
Note that I may not be able to take on additional students once my capacity has been reached.
