Last year's faculty recruitment season led to the hire of Assistant Prof. Karim Chalak, who has joined the department faculty this summer. Karim, an econometrician, received his PhD from the University of California-San Diego this spring, working with Halbert White, Clive Granger, Mark Machina, Julian Betts, Graham Elliott, Dimitris Politis and Ruth Williams. Chalak's ongoing research considers the definition, modeling, identification, and estimation of causal effects.
Chalak will be teaching undergraduate econometrics and one of the graduate econometric theory courses this academic year. We are delighted to welcome him to Boston College.
