Jackson Bunting

Jackson Bunting is an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Washington. He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from Duke University (2021) and previously served as an Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University. His research focuses on structural econometric approaches to panel data, particularly addressing unobserved heterogeneity and learning models in dynamic settings. Bunting's work emphasizes methodological advancements in dynamic discrete choice models and hypothesis testing for panel data properties like marginal homogeneity.

His research interests include applied microeconomics, structural econometrics, and computational methods in economics. Notable contributions involve semiparametric identification frameworks, permutation-based hypothesis testing for dynamic games, and improving computational efficiency in structural estimation. Bunting has collaborated with scholars like Federico Bugni and Takuya Ura on foundational econometric methodologies.

Recent publications address topics such as homogeneity testing in dynamic discrete games, estimation techniques for dynamic choice models with unobserved heterogeneity, and algorithmic improvements for econometric analysis. His work bridges theoretical econometrics with applied problems in labor, industrial organization, and policy analysis.
