Profile

Research expertise

William McCausland earned his PhD from the University of Minnesota in 2002, and then joined the Department of Economics  at the Université de Montréal. He is currently conducting research into the application of Bayesian econometrics in analyzing time series in economics and finance, demand by consumers and companies, discrete choices in experiments and subjects' behaviour in repeated game experiments.
