Cole Davis

PhD Candidate in Economics · Brown University

I'm a third-year PhD in economics at Brown University, interested broadly in theoretical and applied econometrics, causal inference, and statistics. My current research focuses on empirical Bayes and high-dimensional two-way effects models.

I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Colorado Boulder, where I dual-majored in economics and mathematics and minored in computer science. Sko Buffs!

Outside of research, I enjoy spending time with friends, exercising, watching movies, and reading.

My current favorite papers are "Average treatment effects in the presence of unknown interference" by Sävje, Aronow, & Hudgens (2021) and "Causal inference with misspecified exposure mappings: separating definitions and assumptions" by Sävje (2024).
