I'll join the bandwagon..

PROFILE:
Type of Undergrad: National University of Singapore (Econ Honours)
Undergrad GPA: 4.7/5.0 (top econ student; medals, prizes and a prize in metrics); 1st class hons

Type of Grad: Toulouse, Math econ and metrics (1st year of PhD)
Grad GPA: 2nd out of 25 in eco-math, 2nd out of 65 for all

GRE: 750 Q, 600 V, 4.0 AW; 800 Q 610 V ? AW

Math Courses: calculus and analysis, linear algebra, optimization

Econ Courses: PhD sequence in micro, macro and metrics; a lot of other stuff

Letters of Recommendation: undergrad supervisor (and co-author; offered to talk to Peter Phillips about me), grad supervisor, plus 2 guys I'm now RAing for

Research Experience: RA for undergrad supervisor (involved mathematical proofs in a paper published in Econometric Theory with Mark Armstrong from UCL; calibration exercise in a paper with Jerry Hausman of MIT); now RAing for 2 well-known young UofC guys; forthcoming co-authored (with undergrad sup) theory paper in the International Journal of Industrial Organization (which was cited in a Sept 2007 American Econ Rev article); other papers on paternal involvement in child-rearing (both theory and empirical), differential games applied to shipping alliances, evaluating small sample performance of a particular "thin set" estimator with respect to heteroskedasticity in binary response models, hybrid covariate and propensity score matching models

Teaching Experience: none

Research Interests: IO (both applied theory and metric modelling), competition policy and development, "econometrics" of linguistic data (statistical natural language processing), "econometric" issues in DNA microarray data, panel data, econometrics of mechanism design models (particularly model selection tests and structural econometrics, eg auctions)

SOP: Haven't written it yet; will elaborate on research agenda instead of explaining my achievements, weaknesses etc

Weaknesses: math
