Research and ProjectsDr. Hurd’s research interest is how to use subjective information in models of economic behavior. For example, do subjective survival probabilities explain saving and retirement as would be predicted by the life-cycle model? He has been studying the causal flows that determine the relationship between socioeconomic status and health. He has proposed and tested a method to measure the amount of uncertainty in a population about quantities such as the value of stock portfolios. With other collaborators he has been working to develop an Internet survey panel. In the long run this panel will be available for short turnaround and cost effective surveys as well as to test experimental methods for survey response. |
