Daniel L. Millimet, SMU

I am a Professor in the Department of Economics at SMU, as well as a research fellow at IZA, a senior co-editor of Advances in Econometrics, and a member of the editorial boards of Empirical Economics and the Journal of Environmental Economics & Management. 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.
