Jason Abrevaya serves as Associate Dean for Graduate Education and holds the Murray S. Johnson Chair in Economics at the University of Texas at Austin within the College of Liberal Arts and Department of Economics. His research spans econometric methodology, applied microeconomics, and demography, with significant contributions using U.S. birth databases to study birthweight inequality, smoking effects, and gender selection practices among ethnic groups. Dr. Abrevaya's work centers on econometrics (panel data analysis, treatment effects, missing data), health economics (birth outcomes, vaccination), labor economics, and sports economics. His methodological innovations address data challenges in causal inference and microeconomic applications, characterized by rigorous statistical approaches to real-world problems. Recent publications demonstrate continued emphasis on theoretical econometrics with empirical applications in public health and sports analytics. His article trends reveal sustained focus on treatment effects under heteroskedasticity, partial effects in nonlinear models, and applications to vaccine uptake and sports (e.g., penalty calls in hockey). Methodological contributions frequently bridge theoretical econometrics with empirical practice in health and social sciences. Dr. Abrevaya has secured research funding from the National Science Foundation and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. He is author of the textbook Probability and Statistics for Economics and Business: An Introduction Using R . No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in available sources. As Associate Dean for Graduate Education, he oversees graduate programs while maintaining active research and mentorship. His warning about scam impersonation attempts (via Gmail addresses posing as research opportunities) underscores the importance of verifying communications through his official university email.
