>Dear Admissions Committee,
>
>I am writing to apply for the position of
>Post-Doctoral Fellowships in Entrepreneurship
>announced in Job Openings for Economics. I am
>currently a doctoral student in the Department
>of Economics at University of Toronto, where I
>study under the supervision of Professor Victor
>Aguirregabiria. I expect to receive my Ph.D. in May 2016.
>
>My research interests lie in Empirical
>Industrial Organization and Applied
>Econometrics. My current research focuses on the
>empirical analysis of competition across firms,
>which include network competition, strategic
>entry deterrence and pricing strategies. I have
>worked with several data sets mainly in the
>airline industry and tobacco industry. In my job
>market paper, entitled “Network Competition in
>the Airline Industry: A Framework for Empirical
>Policy Analysis,†I propose a structural model
>of oligopoly competition where the set of
>endogenous strategic decisions of an airline
>includes its network structure (i.e., the set of
>city-pairs where the airline operates nonstop
>flights), capacities (i.e., flight frequency and
>number of seats) for every city-pair where they
>are active, and prices for nonstop and one-stop
>routes. In this paper, I propose and implement
>simple methods for the estimation of the model
>and for the evaluation of counterfactual
>experiments that avoid the computation of an
>equilibrium. I also have a joint paper with my
>supervisor on the estimation of discrete choice
>models based on moment inequalities. Although
>most of my research has been studying airline
>industry, I am also interested in tobacco industry and automobile industry.
>
>Enclosed please find my curriculum vitae and job
>market paper. My letters of reference will
>arrive shortly. Please let me know if I may
>furnish any additional information. I will be
>attending the January ASSA meetings in San
>Francisco and would appreciate an opportunity to meet you there.
>
>Thank you very much for your consideration!
>
>Sincerely
>Zhe Yuan
