The broad objective of this project is to examine several methodological and practical issues relating to the identification, estimation and inference of causal effect for discrete outcomes in empirical studies. Particular focuses include the identification powers of IVs and covariates, weak and mixed strength instruments in GMM estimation, inference for treatment effect bounds, variable selection in finite and high dimensional settings, and practical issues in estimating causal effect identified sets. The Research Fellow will work closely with the Chief Investigators Professors Don Poskitt and Xueyan Zhao, Monash University, and Professor Firmin Doko Tchatoka, University of Adelaide, as well as two other econometricians internationally as Partner Investigators. The Research Fellow will be based in Clayton campus in Melbourne, and work in a department with a rich and vibrant research environment. The appointee should have, or be close to having a doctoral qualification in econometrics, economics or statistics, with specific expertise in one or more of the following areas: micro-econometrics, statistical theory and methods, computational techniques, panel data methodology, and high-dimensional statistical analysis. A good knowledge of empirical causal analysis is highly desirable.
