TRIBUTE IN HONOR OF NOBEL LAUREATE IN ECONOMICS

______

HON. ANNA G. ESHOO

of california

in the house of representatives

Friday, October 15, 2021

Ms. ESHOO. Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring my distinguished constituent, a recipient of the 2021 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, Stanford University Professor Guido W. Imbens. The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, more commonly known as the Nobel Prize in Economics, is given by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm and was established in 1968, joining the five original prizes established by Alfred Nobel in his 1895 will. Dr. Imbens is being honored with his colleague Joshua D. Angrist of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for methodological contributions to the analysis of causal relationships.

Guido Imbens is the Applied Econometrics Professor and Professor of Economics at the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB). He is a senior fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research and Amman Mineral faculty fellow for 2021-22. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and the Econometric Society, served as a Stanford GSB Trust faculty fellow in 2013 and 2014, and holds an honorary Doctorate from the University of St. Gallen. A graduate of Brown University, where he earned his Ph.D., he taught at Harvard, UCLA and UC Berkeley before joining the GSB in 2012. His research focuses on developing methods for drawing causal relationships in observational studies, using matching, instrumental variables and regression continuity designs.

Madam Speaker, I ask the entire House of Representatives to join me in congratulating Dr. Guido W. Imbens on receiving this most prestigious award, recognizing his contributions to the field of economics. It's my privilege to represent him, pay tribute to his brilliance, and thank him for making every American proud of his accomplishments.
