Research Interests for Arie Beresteanu

Arie Beresteanu specializes in econometrics and empirical industrial organization. His research utilizes partially identified models and estimation of dynamic//structural models in IO in pursuit of the estimation of games and the exploration of non- and semi- parametric econometrics. He received a grant from the National Science Foundation for his research during 2006-2009, which he plans to renew for his collaborative project with Francesca Molinari on “Asymptotic Properties for Partially Identified Models.” He has collaborated with his contemporaries on projects in the past, including his work on “Sharp Identification Regions in Games,” on which he also worked with Molinari and with Ilya Molchanov as well. He is currently conducting several projects, including “Dynamic Competition in Oligopolistic Markets” with Paul Ellickson, “Testing a Nonparametric Null Hypothesis against a Nonparametric Alternative” with Adam Rosen, and “Set Identification in Contingent Valuation Surveys with Application to Drought Mitigation in Indonesia” with Chris Timmins and Subhrendu Pattanayak. He is also co-authoring a paper with Dahan Momi entitled, “An Optimal Shape of Income Tax: Evidence from Zero Income Tax Countries—Paraguay and Uruguay.”
