Ingmar Prucha, Professor, received his Ph.D. in Mathematical Economics from the University of Technology in Vienna in 1977. He also received a post-graduate degree in Economics from the Institute for Advanced Studies in Vienna. Professor Prucha's research interests are in theoretical and applied econometrics. His current research interests in theoretical econometrics include cross-section models and static/dynamic panel-data models with cross-sectional/spatial interactions, dynamic nonlinear time series models, and maximum likelihood and GMM estimation theory. His applied work focuses on the determinants of dynamic factor demand, including investment in physical and R&D capital, and productivity. He teaches in the area of Econometrics.

Professor Prucha is Associate Editor of Econometric Theory and the Journal of Econometrics, and a member of the editorial board of Empirical Economics. Publications include: "A Uniform Law of Large Numbers for Dependent and Heterogeneous Data Processes" (with B. M. Poetscher), Econometrica, 1989; "Endogenous Capital Utilization and Productivity in Dynamic Demand Models: Theory and an Application to the U.S. Electrical Machinery Industry" (with M.I. Nadiri), Journal of Econometrics, 1996; Dynamic Nonlinear Econometric Models, Asymptotic Theory (with B.M. Poetscher, Springer Verlag), 1997; and  "Estimation of Simultaneous Systems of Spatially Interrelated Cross Sectional Equations" (with H.H. Kelejian), Journal of Econometrics, 2004.
