- Causal Inference

Professor Flores’ main research fields are econometrics and labor economics. His research focuses on the development and application of new econometric methods for causal inference to assess the effects of policies, programs, and interventions. Most of his econometric research has concentrated on two broad areas: (1) the study of econometric methods to evaluate multiple, multi-valued, and continuous interventions or treatments; (2) the analysis of estimation problems in which it is necessary to adjust for a variable that has been affected by the treatment of interest.
His empirical work has covered topics in labor economics, education, health, crime, and environmental economics.
Professor Flores’ work has been published in journals such as the Review of Economics and Statistics, Journal of Business and Economic Statistics, Journal of Human Resources, and Journal of Health Economics. Some of his work has been funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.
