Call for Papers for Conference in Honor of Daniel McFadden’s 80th Birthday

(Please feel free to circulate)

USC will be hosting a conference in honor of
Daniel McFadden on the occasion of his 80th
birthday on July 28 and 29 of 2017. The
conference will be held at the Schaeffer Center
for Health Policy and Economics, where Dan has an appointment.

We are seeking proposals for papers on discrete
choice­the area of econometrics for which Dan was
awarded the Nobel Prize in 2000. The goal of the
conference is to promote intellectual
cross-fertilization; thus, we encourage
submissions in labor, health, and development
economics, industrial organization/technological
change, the econometric theory of discrete choice
analysis, and transportation/energy/environmental economics.

Following the conference, Han Hong, Michael
Keane, and Clifford Winston will invite selected
authors to submit their papers for a possible
special issue of the Journal of Econometrics.

Proposals should be roughly 2-4 pages and emailed
to Clifford Winston by no later than December 1, 2016 at CWinston_at_brookings.edu
