Chris Orme is an Emeritus Professor at the University of Manchester, specializing in econometrics. His research focuses on econometric methods and their applications, particularly in analyzing microdata and panel data models. He has contributed to the development of robust statistical tests for heteroskedasticity, endogeneity bias, and model misspecification. His work includes studies on worker absenteeism, land prices, and the sensitivity of econometric tests to omitted variables. Orme's research also addresses the challenges of small-sample performance and the reliability of statistical inference in econometric models. His publications emphasize the importance of robustness and validity in econometric analysis, particularly in the presence of complex data structures and potential biases.
