Dutch-American economist Guido Imbens' research focuses on statistics and econometrics. He is the Applied Econometrics Professor of Economics at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business. Joshua Angrist and Imbens both received a portion of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences "for their methodological contributions to the investigation of causal linkages." Natural experiments, which can provide empirical data in situations where controlled experimentation may be costly, time-consuming or unethical, were the focus of their work. Imbens and Angrist developed the local average treatment effect (LATE) paradigm to reliably infer causation from natural experiments while accounting for and defining the constraints of such conclusions.
Imbens has held academic positions at Harvard University, the University of California, Berkeley, the University of California, Los Angeles and Tilburg University. He specializes in econometrics, which are specific techniques for inferring causal relationships. He is a professor of applied economics and econometrics at Stanford Graduate School of Business. He is also the editor of Econometrica at the moment. In addition, he teaches economics at the School of Humanities and Sciences of the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR) and serves as a senior fellow at the institute.
Imbens is a fellow of both the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Econometric Society. Imbens was chosen as a foreign member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was also selected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association..
