Auctions
I study search and selection in empirical industrial organization, using and developing new econometric tools to analyze auction and market data. I have done substantial work on the structural analysis of auction data, focusing particularly on environments with selective entry. In ongoing work, I am exploring the interplay between sales, displays, in-store search and demand in retail markets, the role of information and selection in corporate mergers, and partial identification and estimation of auctions with affiliated values. Finally, my joint work with Yanqin Fan and Tong Li proposes a new class of iterative estimators for moment condition models. My research thus bridges the fields of empirical industrial organization and microeconometrics, with substantial crossovers into marketing.
