Biography:
Robert Miller is Richard M. Cyert and Morris DeGroot Professor of Economics and Statistics and Professor of Economics & Strategy at Carnegie Mellon University. He is one of the world’s leading authorities on structural econometrics and of the analysis of dynamic discrete choice problems and more general dynamic games. Structural econometrics employs economic models of behaviour in order to understand the structure of the economic processes that generate the data we see. This approach delivers results which can be transferred across environments and gives insight into the reasons for the magnitudes of responses to policy interventions.
