Cornell University was awarded a $581,698 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Social and Economic Science under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The grant will support research to develop innovative statistical decision theory methods for policy evaluation. Specifically, Cornell researchers will use three projects to create new estimation and inference methods connecting statistical decision theory to economics and...
This $285,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) will fund research to develop new statistical methods to guide economic and public policy decisions in rapidly changing environments. The research aims to build on recent advances in statistical decision theory, causal inference, and machine learning to create econometric models that can effectively inform evidence-based policymaking while...
This $226,874 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) will fund research to develop new statistical tools for modeling and analyzing dependent data. The project, to be conducted by Cornell University, will focus on advancing methods for handling data dependencies in areas such as local elections, inflation modeling, spatial patterns, and environmental monitoring data. The research aims to provide...
This Project Grant award of $194,675 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research to develop new econometric and statistical methods that allow researchers to draw valid conclusions from complex data in a variety of social, behavioral, and medical science settings. The key products and services to be delivered include: Developing a generally applicable reparameterization procedure for informative...
This NSF Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $572,000 to the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) will fund research to develop advanced computational methods for solving heterogeneous-agent macroeconomic models. The research will focus on expanding the capabilities of sequence-space methods to enable the analysis of models with diverse types of heterogeneity, such as location choice and firm-level differences. Key deliverables include new...
This $138,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund research on heterogeneous agent modeling of the personal data economy. With a performance period from August 2021 through July 2023, this award will support the development of models to analyze how individual behaviors and interactions shape markets involving the exchange of personal data. As part of its mission to advance the social and economic sciences, the NSF SBE...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) provides $567,000 to Cornell University to conduct theoretical, empirical, and experimental research on collective action problems. The research investigates how groups can efficiently solve challenging collective action problems that society faces, such as aggregating preferences and information in the face of free-riding incentives. The work...
This $279,983 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Brown University to develop hybrid statistical and econometric modeling methods. Funded under the NSF Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program, the three-year award beginning August 2022 aims to advance modeling approaches that account for imperfect data measurement and the reality that models approximate rather than perfectly represent the world. The research will modify method-of-moments techniques to...
The National Science Foundation Division of Social and Economic Science awarded Cornell University a $103,149 project grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The three-year grant, awarded September 1, 2021 and concluding August 31, 2024, will support research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: HOW ONLINE FOCI SHAPE CONVERSATION." Through this funding, Cornell University researchers in Ithaca, New York will examine how the topics and issues...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $500,000 over 2 years to create a database of historical records on consumer expenditures linked to Census Bureau data. The database will be widely available to researchers and the public at no cost, enabling studies on the evolution of living standards and consumption patterns in the post-WWII period. The research team plans to use the data to...
