Biography of A. Colin Cameron
Colin Cameron was educated at the
Australian National University (undergraduate) and Stanford
University (graduate). He is currently a Professor of
Economics in the Department of Economics at the University
of California – Davis, where he teaches econometrics courses
at various levels as well as an undergraduate course in
health economics, and a visiting Professor at University of
Sydney. He was previously an Assistant Professor at The Ohio
State University (1987-89). He has held visiting positions
at University of Sydney, Australian National University,
University of New South Wales and Indiana University –
Bloomington. He is a Fellow of the International Association
for Applied Econometrics and a Senior Fellow of the Rimini
Centre for Economic Analysis.
Colin Cameron's main research is in microeconometrics for
cross-section data and has appeared in many of the leading
all-round economics journals and econometrics field
journals. His research on count data modeling includes a
1986 Journal of Applied Econometrics article
“Econometrics Models Based on Count Data: Comparisons and
Applications of Some Estimators and Tests” (joint with
Pravin Trivedi). His research on robust statistical
inference in regression models with errors that are
clustered includes the 2008 Review of Economics and
Statistics article “Bootstrap-based Improvements for
Inference with Clustered Errors”, the 2011 Journal of
Business and Statistics article “Robust Inference
with Multi-Way Clustering” (both joint work with Jonah
Gelbach and Doug Miller) and the 2015 Journal of Human
Resources article “A Practitioner's Guide to
Cluster-Robust Inference”
(joint with Doug Miller).
Colin Cameron is the coauthor with
Pravin Trivedi of three leading books in microeconometrics.
Regression Analysis of Count Data is one of only two
Econometric Society Monographs to have a second edition. Microeconometrics:
Methods and Applications is one of the two standard
advanced Ph.D. texts in microeconometrics. Microeconometrics
using Stata is a text for implementing advanced
microeconometrics models using Stata, the leading
econometrics package for economics researchers, with a
second edition forthcoming in 2022. Colin is also the author
of the undergraduate text Analysis of Economics data: An
Introduction to Econometrics.
His books and research articles have received over 50,000
Google Scholar citations. He has been a
keynote speaker at international conferences and has given
many short courses on advanced microeconometrics around the
world.
