Silverman (1968) Family Career Development Assistant Professor of Economics
Massachusetts Institute of Technology

My research spans econometrics, statistics, and computer science. I develop methods for causal inference and for evaluating the decisions made by people and algorithms. I bring this perspective to the study of AI, examining what models learn about the world and how to assess their capabilities. I also study AI as a tool for measurement in the social sciences, hypothesis generation, and the development of new economic models.
