Research Statement

Navdeep Sahni’s research focuses on understanding consumers' purchase decisions and the impact of firms' marketing actions. Navdeep’s studies employ various methodologies ranging from econometric analysis to running field experiments to make inferences from data. His PhD dissertation focused on the effect of online sponsored search advertising on consumer decision-making. For this study Navdeep executed a randomized field experiment and used innovative techniques to estimate the impact of repetition and timing of ads on advertisers' returns. To compare counterfactual advertising strategies, he built a memory-based model of learning through multiple ad exposures.
