Economics, Department of
Frank Kleibergen's research focuses on the validity of statistical inference in economic models. Until recently it was commonly thought that usage of a large dataset automatically implies that the empirical validation of an economic model is conducted in a statistical sound manner. The large sample validity of statistical inference is, however, often a misconception for economic models that contain endogenous variables. Endogeneity is a commonality of many economic variables. Kleibergen is involved in the development of statistical procedures that remain trustworthy in such instances. |  | Brian Knight

The allocation to individuals of aggregate income, when it results from their trading in incomplete asset markets, is inefficient with respect to some policies; typically policy activation improves everyone's welfare. Though some policies are effective in this sense, not all are.
One research project identifies why some policies are effective and others are not; another quantifies these welfare improvements, given that computing them consumes some of the aggregate income. |  | David Weil

He has also written on assorted topics in demographic economics including population aging, Social Security, the gender wage gap, retirement, and the relation between demographics and house prices. His current work examines how differences in health contribute to income gaps among countries. He recently published an undergraduate textbook on economic growth. |  | Ivo Welch
