Nail Kashaev

Dr. Nail Kashaev is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at Western University. He holds a PhD from Penn State University (2016) and specializes in econometric theory, industrial organization, and discrete choice modeling.

Research focuses on:

• Structural estimation of discrete choice models
• Behavioral econometrics with limited consideration
• Dynamic stochastic decision processes
• Social interactions in economic decisions
• Identification strategies for latent variable models

His methodological innovations address identification challenges in models with unobserved choice sets and latent covariates. Recent work develops frameworks for analyzing peer effects in consideration sets and preferences, with applications to industrial organization and behavioral economics.

Dr. Kashaev maintains active research collaborations across North America and Europe. He teaches graduate courses in Advanced Econometrics and Econometric Theory, and undergraduate courses in Econometrics and Quantitative Methods.
