Applied Microeconometrics
Overview
The Applied Microeconometrics (AME) group focuses on Econometric methodology with applications in (predominantly, but not exclusively) microeconomics. We aim to bring together colleagues who work in different areas but share a common interest in methods. Our group encompasses a diverse spectrum of research areas covering (but not limited to):
Labour market outcomes
Health/disability
Education/skills
Inequalities
Development
Activities
We meet regularly to share work in progress, discuss common research interests, and brainstorm ideas. We also organise ad hoc workshops, seminars, and reading groups.
Beyond our commitment to produce cutting edge applied econometrics research, we seek to strengthen the research ecosystem by:
Widening secondary data access for researchers
Building networks with policymakers and the third sector
Translating academic rigor into real-world impact
Membership
Our group includes researchers at all levels, from established professors to Early Career Researchers and PhD students.
