CENTRE FOR RESEARCH IN MICROECONOMICS

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE

DIRECTOR: RICHARD J. SMITH

CO-DIRECTORS:
TOM CROSSLEY, SANJEEV GOYAL, PRAMILA KRISHNAN

The Centre currently comprises three major Research Programs: Theoretical Microeconometrics; Applied Microeconometrics and Analysis of Survey Data; Analysis of Networks. It is anticipated that a fourth program in the general area of Behavioural and Experimental Economics will be initiated in the near future.

A number of Faculty Research Fellows based in the University of Cambridge and in the United Kingdom are associated with the Centre. In due course the Centre expects to appoint International Research Fellows from outside of the United Kingdom who would be actively associated with the various Research Programs within the Centre.

Each program of research has a Visiting Scholars program explicitly designed to support the research and interests of Centre members. The Faculty of Economics seminar series in Empirical Microeconomics, Microeconomics and Econometrics complement the activities of the Centre. Reading groups led by research students have been established to stimulate interest and research in the research programs of the Centre and microeconomics more generally.

The Centre is administered by an Executive Committee consisting of the Director and Co-Directors. The Director and each Co-Director are Convenors for one of the Research Programs and is responsible for the administration and direction of research undertaken within the particular Program. Overall strategic direction of the Centre is guided by an Advisory Board consisting of leading international scholars in the general area of microeconomic research.
