Michael Patrick Keane (born 1961) is an American/Australian economist who is currently the Nuffield Professor of Economics at the University of Oxford and an Australian Laureate Fellow at the University of New South Wales. He is considered one of the world's leading experts in the fields of Choice Modelling, structural modelling, simulation estimation, and panel data econometrics. But he is best know for work on new econometric methods that have made it feasible to estimate discrete choice models with many alternatives, and also to estimate models that incorporate complex dynamics. Keane also works in numerous applied areas including labor economics, health economics, consumer demand models, marketing, industrial organization and trade. He is currently a chief investigator of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Population Ageing Research (Cepar). From 2006-10 he was Co-Director of the Centre for the Study of Choice (CenSoC) at UTS. Keane became a dual citizen of Australia in 2010.
