Biography of Artem Shneer
Artem Shneer is a Canadian microeconomist originally from Russia. He currently works at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. Shneer's research focuses on game theory, industrial organization, and applied econometrics.
Early Life and Education
Artem Shneer was born on October 20, 1968, in St. Petersburg, Russia. He obtained a Ph.D. in Economics from Northwestern University, a Master of Arts in Humanities from Vanderbilt University, and a Bachelor of Science in Natural Sciences from St. Petersburg Polytechnical University.
Research Contributions
In his work, "An empirical study of auction revenue rankings: the case of municipal bonds," Shneer presented an approach to calculate the approximate total revenue of an auction without the need for modeling primitives. He demonstrated that first-price auctions can be used to determine expected revenues in a Vickrey auction with a given reserve price. Additionally, he derived an explicit estimate of expected revenue in English (open) auctions based on the model described by Milgrom and Weber. Shneer applied his findings to auctions for the sale of municipal bonds in California.
Currently, Xun Tang from the University of Pennsylvania continues research in this area following Shneer's investigations.
Collaborations and Additional Work
Shneer collaborated with Mark Satterthwaite and his former student Adam Chi Leung Wong on several achievements related to the structure of equilibrium in dynamic matching and bargaining theory, as well as the pursuit of perfect competition. Some of the results are discussed in the work "Bergemann and Balat" in 2008, which is read by economics students at Yale University.
In his earlier work, Shneer focused on measuring income inequality. In the publication "Path Independent Inequality Measures," he and James Foster introduced inequality indicators that are broken down into interregional and intraregional components. James and Artem's approach has recently been applied more widely beyond income inequality, such as in the context of lending practices in Thailand.
