Economics and Econometrics

Foundational work in Economics and Econometrics develops and tests economic theories through rigorous quantitative methods. Topics include consumer‐producer theory, general equilibrium models, panel‐data estimation and instrumental‐variable techniques for causal identification. Empirical papers leveraging natural experiments, difference‐in‐differences designs or structural estimation provide robust insights into market behaviour and policy impacts. Theoretical advancements in game theory, auction models or welfare economics contribute to a deeper understanding of strategic interactions. Interdisciplinary collaborations applying econometric tools in public health, environmental policy or education sectors expand the field’s societal relevance.
