Areas of interest:

Speciality: Theory and application of discrete choice behavior. Other interests: Econometrics, Labor supply, Urban travel demand, Choice of schooling, Consumer demand. Currently working on Theoretical foundations of choice theory with particular reference to functional form and distributional properties of unobservables in behavioral models.
