In a separate line of research, Professor McDevitt and his co-authors have estimated structural models of differentiation and entry in various markets, including health care and venture capital. In addition, Professor McDevitt has collaborated with Shane Greenstein at Northwestern University on several policy papers related to the deployment of broadband Internet, both domestically and abroad.
