Applied Statistics - Matthew Harding

This week the Applied Statistics Workshop will present a talk by Matthew Harding, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Economics at MIT. He received his BA from University College London and an M.Phil in economics from the University of Oxford. His work in econometrics focuses on stochastic eigenanalysis with applications to economic forecasting, modeling of belief distributions, and international political economy. He also works on modeling heterogeneity in nonlinear random coefficients models, duration models, and panels.

Matt will present a talk entitled "Evaluating Policy Counterfactuals in Voting Models with Aggregate Heterogeneity." A link to a background paper for the presentation is available from the workshop website. The presentation will be at noon on Wednesday, April 5 in Room N354, CGIS North, 1737 Cambridge St. Lunch will be provided.
