<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I am Professor of Economics in the Department of Economics 
and Senior Research Associate in the Center for Policy Research at <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Syracuse</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
 w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>. I am an applied 
econometrician who concentrates on applying discrete choice models and duration 
models to topics in urban and real estate economics, labor economics, aging and 
demography.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; My</span> demographic 
research examines the effect of liberalized maternity leave laws in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
 w:st="on">Germany</st1:place></st1:country-region> on the length of leave taken 
by German mothers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; My</span> research on 
aging has been primarily connected with the effect of the provision of community-based 
long-term services in deterring nursing home entry.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Some of my work in urban economics deals with audit methodology in 
relation to housing discrimination. I was a senior econometrician for the 1989 
HUD-sponsored Housing Discrimination Study and have contributed to several 
studies using the HDS data.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>One of 
my papers based on audit data, co-authored with Alex Stricker and <st1:PersonName w:st="on">
John Yinger</st1:PersonName>
and published in the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Southern Economic 
Journal</i>, applies fixed-effect logit estimation to black and Hispanic sales 
audits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </span>A study written together 
with Stephen Ross and <st1:PersonName w:st="on">John Yinger</st1:PersonName> and 
published in the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Journal of Urban 
Economics</i> presents a new method for measuring the extent of discrimination. 
A second study with Ross and Yinger examines how the characteristics of 
available housing affect housing discrimination. This study was published in 
the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Review of Economics and Statistics.</i><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"> 
I was fortunate to get a grant from Upjohn to study the determinants of the 
location decision for foreign direct investment in the United States. More 
recently, I have worked with Paul Liu and Mary Lovely on the location of foreign 
direct investment in China. This work is forthcoming in the

<p class="MsoNormal"><i>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </i>My work in real estate economics, co-authored with James Follain and Gyan 
Sinha and published in the<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"> Journal of 
Urban Economics</i> examines the effect of the prepayment option value on the 
prepayment rate of Freddie Mac Plan A mortgages; the results indicate that the 
standard models that suggest prepayment will occur quickly for �in-the-money� 
options are incorrect. Finally, work with <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Wenyi Huang</st1:PersonName>
published in the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Journal of Housing 
Research</i> examines the determinants of prepayment and default for FHA-insured 
multifamily mortgages in a simultaneous econometric analysis. </p>
