Applied Microeconomics Research

Researchers in applied microeconomics use data on the behavior of economic agents, markets, and institutions to understand issues in industrial organization, public finance, two-sided markets, and political organizations. They leverage the empirical implications of theoretical economic models, and they test and estimate those models using the latest econometric and statistical techniques. Many studies in applied microeconomics make substantive methodological contributions to the field and at the same time have immediate policy implications.
