Using Teikametrics, the long-tail of small and medium businesses that transact over 50% of Amazon’s total retail volume are empowered with data science technology previously only available to the world’s largest retailers who have had access to advanced data science and research capabilities.

Professor Jerry Hausman is the MacDonald Professor of Economics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Professor Hausman received a D.Phil. (Ph.D.) degree from Oxford University where he was a Marshall Scholar. He has been a faculty member at MIT for 43 years.

Professor Hausman has consulted for the world’s leading retail brands and retailers including Starbucks, Kellogg’s, Anheuser Busch, Tesco’s, and Home Depot.

“By adding Professor Hausman to our scientific advisory board, thousands of Amazon sellers now have a titan in the field of applied econometrics and applied microeconometrics applying ground breaking modeling to help them become more profitable,” said Alasdair McLean-Foreman, Teikametrics’ founder and CEO.

“Professor Hausman’s work has had tremendous influence and a breakthrough impact in many areas of the economy, to now have his help in the field of ecommerce and Amazon marketplace optimization is a huge win for our Amazon sellers,” said McLean-Foreman.

“The internet and Amazon have reframed the world of retail. The problems that Teikametrics is solving for sellers competing in the Amazon ecosystem is exciting,” said Professor Hausman.

“There is an opportunity to help millions of sellers using data and econometrics to help them make better decisions on pricing, advertising, and inventory selection. The technology we are building at Teikametrics is helping retailers and brands compete in this dynamic new retail economy - this is the future of retail.”
