This talk will overview supervised statistical learning of customer preferences through choice experiments and discrete choice models. Empirical applications of inference on economic value of this non-market valuation technique will be covered to illustrate how these econometric tools are used in practice.
About Ricardo Daziano
Ricardo Daziano, PhD is Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University. Dr. Daziano is a choice modeler working on deriving Bayesian and semiparametric estimators for economic models of customer decisions in engineering contexts. He leads research with a unique focus on applied econometrics of consumer choices around energy efficiency. Dr. Daziano’s empirical goal is to better understand the interaction of consumer behavior and engineering, investment, and policy choices for energy-efficient technologies and sustainability, especially in transportation. Ricardo Daziano holds a PhD in Economics from Laval University.
