A Conversation with Guido W. Imbens

Guido Wilhelmus Imbens is the Applied Econometrics Professor and Professor of Economics with a joint appointment at the Graduate School of Business and the Department of Economics at Stanford University. He has made fundamental contributions to econometric and statistical methods for drawing causal inferences in experimental and observational studies, and applications to a wide range of disciplines beyond economics, including psychology, education, policy, law, epidemiology, public health and other social and biomedical sciences. Together with his longtime collaborator, Joshua An-grist, Guido was awarded half the 2021 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel for their methodological contributions to the analysis of causal relationships, with the other half going to David Card.
