Tong Li is Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Professor of Economics at Vanderbilt University. He received Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Southern California in 1997. Prof. Tong Li's primary research and teaching interests are microeconometrics with a focus on identification and inference of econometric models with latent variables, and game-theoretic models. He also studies dynamic/ nonlinear panel data analysis, and empirical microeconomics focusing on empirical analysis of strategic behavior of agents with asymmetric information. His research has been supported by the National Science Foundation and the American Statistical Association Committee on Law and Justice Statistics.
