I am an Associate Professor of
economics at the
Syracuse
University. My specialization is econometrics, the statistical
analysis of economic data. Lately I've been doing research with
Kurt
Schnier (University of Rhode Island) on U.S. fishery production. In
particular, we have an NSF grant to study risk in the Bering Sea Crab Fisheries.
The ultimate goal is to estimate the value of a statistical life
using a policy instrument. The exploits of Bering Sea crab fishermen have been popularized in the
Discovery
Channel show
The Deadliest Catch. Read the NSF grant
abstract.
In February, 2008 we made a trip to Dutch Harbor, Alaska to learn about the
fishery. Read the trip
blog. I have developed an educational website of the VSL; to see
it click here:
VSL. I am also working with
Jeff Perloff (Cal. Berkeley) on the
theoretical and empirical effects of brand variety on product demand and
consumer surplus. Fun stuff! Lastly, I am working on a
deconvolution
estimator with
Chris Parmeter (Virginia Tech).
My
Erdös
number is 5:
Paul Erdös (0), Gutti Jogesh Babu (1), Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao (2), G.S.
Maddala (3), Alfonso Flores-Lagunes (4), William Horrace (5).
