Applied Microeconometrics
The Applied Microeconometrics 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.
About our work
Our group encompasses a diverse spectrum of research areas including:
- Labour market outcomes
- Health/disability
- Education/skills
- Inequalities
- Development
Our 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
See events from the cluster and across the school.
Get involved with our work
The Applied Microeconometrics cluster is led by Cristina Sechel.
Our group includes researchers at all levels, from established professors to early career researchers and PhD students.
We welcome enquiries from researchers within and beyond academia. Please reach out to Cristina to explore engagement opportunities or if you would like to know more about our activities.
