Modibo Sidibe, Kathleen Kaylor and G. Richard Wagoner, Jr. Assistant Professor

Modibo Sidibe

Please note: Modibo has left the "Economics" group at Duke University; some info here might not be up to date.

I am an applied microeconomist and my research focuses on the impact of mismatch on economic outcomes. I use model based empirical methods to understand and predict the behavior of agents under different policies.

I work at Duke University, in the Economics Department. I am also affiliated to the Center for Research in Economics and Statistics (CREST) in France. My recent projects involve the potential effect of a tuition free college in the US, school choice in Ghana, and a collective model of migration.

Through his research, he has used job search models to analyze the migration decisions of agents and the efficiency of place based policies. Sidibe has also done work on hedonic methods, and panel data model with large parameter space.
