Arie Beresteanu

Arie Beresteanu is an Associate Professor and Associate Chair in the Department of Economics at the University of Pittsburgh. Previously, he was an Assistant Professor at Duke University. He holds a Ph.D. from Northwestern University and an undergraduate degree from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (summa cum laude). His research focuses on micro-econometrics, partial identification in structural models, and applications to industrial organization and environmental economics. Notable contributions include work on observable consequences of incompleteness in economic behavior and methodologies for convex moment predictions.

Education includes:

• Ph.D. in Economics, Northwestern University
• Bachelor's Degree, Hebrew University of Jerusalem (summa cum laude)

Research interests emphasize econometric methods for identification and partial identification, nonparametric estimation, and discrete choice modeling. His work bridges theoretical econometrics with applied problems in industrial organization, environmental policy, and cost analysis in telecommunications. Recent advancements include contributions to Minkowski summation inverse operations and quantile regression with interval data.

Teaching spans Ph.D. and undergraduate courses in econometrics and industrial organization. He developed a new data course for economics undergraduates. His coding projects include interactive econometric tools in Fortran, Julia, Python, and JavaScript, such as an OLS visualization app and a simulated annealing Sudoku solver.

Athletic pursuits include running with notable personal records in 5K (19:58), Half Marathon (1:34:08), and Marathon (3:18:45). He maintains an extensive resource page on running strategies and training programs.
