(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Robin C. Sickles is an American economist. Life and work He has worked extensively in modeling productivity and efficiency and health outcomes and risk factors that impact health. His research provides new methodological approaches to model and measure complicated economic behaviors and outcomes. His work also focuses on the role that econometrics plays in policy issues, such as market regulation, market transition, and deterrence versus preventive measures in the criminal justice system. After graduating from Georgia Institute of Technology in 1972 , he earned a Ph.D. in Economics in 1976 from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He is the Reginald Henry Hargrove Chair in Economics Emeritus and Professor Statistics Emeritus at Rice University. He is a Fellow of the Journal of Econometrics and the International Association of Applied Econometrics, has served as the Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Productivity Analysis, and has held positions as Associate Editor for the Journal of Econometrics, Journal of Business and Economic Statistics, Journal of Applied Econometrics, and Empirical Economics, among others. He has co-authored and edited eleven books, volumes, journal special issues related to applied econometric topics, over 100 articles in peer-reviewed journals, and over 50 chapters in handbooks and other volumes. His most recent major work is Measurement of Productivity and Efficiency: Theory and Practice
