Daniel L. Millimet, SMU

I am a Professor in the Department of Economics at SMU, as well as a research fellow at IZA, a member of the editorial board for Empirical Economics and the Journal of Environmental Economics & Management, and a member of the advisory board for Advances in Econometrics. My research focuses on uncovering causal relationships between environmental policy, trade policy, and environmental and economic outcomes, as well as between public policies and child outcomes. I teach courses in labor economics, economics of education, and microeconometrics.
