Research Theme

My research interest is panel data analysis. I am interested in statistical methods to understand heterogeneity across economic units using panel data. I study statistical methods to obtain the distribution of characteristics across units in panel data, and procedures to cluster units according to the value of characteristics. I am currently working on methods to investigate time-varying heterogeneity, the development of inference methods, and the comparison across different statistical methods. I also conduct economic experiments and applied research.
