Crawford is Drummond Professor of Political Economy at Oxford University and Fellow of All Souls College since 2010. He is also Professor Emeritus and Research Professor at the University of California at San Diego (UCSD). He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Econometric Society, and the Guggenheim Foundation. He was Co-Editor of the American Economic Review between 2005 and 2009. He received the A.B. Summa cum Laude in Economics from Princeton University in 1972 and the Ph.D. in Economics from M.I.T. in 1976. Professor Crawford’s research has focused on game-theoretic questions in economics, with emphases on bargaining and arbitration, strategic communication, matching markets, learning, and coordination. His main current research area is behavioral and experimental game theory and behavioral economics more generally. Representative recent <strong>papers</strong> include “Cognition and Behavior in Two-Person Guessing Games: An Experimental Study” with Miguel Costa-Gomes, 2006 American Economic Review 2006; “Level-k Auctions: Can Boundedly Rational Strategic Thinking Explain the Winner’s Curse and Overbidding in Private-Value Auctions?” with Nagore Iriberri, Econometrica 2007 and “Fatal Attraction: Salience, Naivete, and Sophistication in Experimental Hide-and-Seek Games” with Nagore Iriberri, American Economic Review 2007. He is among the world’s top 5% authors in economics according to IDEAS/RePEc. Sargan Lecture Tuesday 11.15 – 12.30 Chair: Andrew Chesher, UCL and cemmap Location: Windsor Auditorium To be announced Rosa Matzkin, UCLA Rosa Matzkin is Charles E. Davidson Professor of Economics at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). Her research has been aimed at creating a tight connection between econometrics and economic theory, relaxing, at the same time, the parametric restrictions that one typically imposes when estimating a model. When doing applied work, one may decide to make parametric assumptions because of computational benefits, scarcity of data, or other important considerations. Analyzing what can be inferred when such assumptions are not in place allows one to learn what type of conclusions do not depend on such parametric specifications. A tight connection between econometrics and economic theory allows one to interpret estimates in terms of the elements of the model, and to evaluate counterfactuals under environments where some of the elements in the model do not change. It also allows one to determine whether observations are consistent with any particular model. Selected recent works include “Identification in Nonparametric Simultaneous Equations,” Econometrica 2008; “Nonparametric Identification,” in Handbook of Econometrics 2007 and “Cross Section and Panel Data Estimators for Nonseparable Models with Endogenous Regressors,” with Joseph Altonji in Econometrica 2005. m o n d a y 1 8 a p r i l t u e s d a y 1 9 a p r i l w e d n e s d a y 2 0 a p r i l
