Nicholas M. Kiefer

Ta-Chung Liu Professor

 

Nicholas M. Kiefer works primarily in econometrics and statistics with applications in financial economics, credit scoring and risk management in banking, consumer trend forecasting, and development of quantitative management techniques. Previously, Kiefer worked on developing structural job search models and subsequently equilibrium search models. Most recently, Kiefer is developing methods for inference about small probabilities, with special interest in banking applications.  The unifying theme of the work is the complementary use of statistics and economic theory.  Both statistical modeling and theoretical modeling are seen as tools to summarize and focus information.  Theory and econometrics are treated as similar, complementary activities, not separate fields.

Professor Kiefer is in the departments of economics and statistical sciences and is a member of the graduate field faculty in economics, statistics and hospitality administration at Cornell University.
