>Dear Mr. Healy,
>
>I am writing to apply to the upcoming NBER Digitization Tutorial in 2016.
>
>I am a third year PhD candidate in Managerial Economics and Strategy
>in the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. The
>first year coursework in my program is nearly identical to that of
>the Economics program at Northwestern. My research interests are in
>Industrial Organization, Quantitative Marketing, and Health
>Economics. In addition to the above fields, I have completed
>advanced coursework in Information Economics and the Economics of Innovation.
>
>Since summer 2015 I have been directly involved in researching the
>economics of digitization as a scientist intern on Pandora Media's
>internal research team. My current research focuses on separating
>consumers' preferences for quality versus variety through a large
>randomized field experiment of online radio content. Listener
>heterogeneity plays a large role in my analysis through its
>implications on consumer segmentation. Finally, by connecting
>listening behavior to online advertising revenue streams I
>indirectly measure the value of online freemium media content and
>seek to draw conclusions on how profit-maximizing firms should
>strategically respond to this information.
>
>My work with Pandora will likely be at least part of my
>dissertation. While I have yet to finalize my committee, I have been
>working closely with David Dranove and Brett Gordon. Economists
>David Reiley and Steve McBride within Pandora can also speak to my work.
>
>I look forward to contributing to and participating in the
>conference. Please let me know if you need any other information. I
>am happy to provide references and/or a detailed CV if desired.
>
>Regards,
>Johnny Chan
