Biography
Erik Meijer is an economist at RAND. Before joining RAND, he was an assistant professor of econometrics at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands. His primary expertise is econometric modeling, especially measurement error and, more generally, latent variables. Recent work includes the measurement of earnings, health, and financial literacy, and estimating eligibility for a low income subsidy for Medicare Part D. In addition, he has worked on a variety of other topics in economics, econometrics, and statistics, e.g., preference heterogeneity and individual choices in labor supply, housing demand, and travel demand, bias correction and variance estimation in clustered samples, sample selectivity, sampling design, and data quality. Much of his current work relates to the economics of aging, including related topics such as retirement, health, and social security.
