Fellows of the Econometric Society

 FELLOWS OF THE ECONOMETRIC SOCIETY

Massimo Marinacci (Head of the Department of Decision Sciences, IGIER fellow, and AXA-Bocconi Chair in Risk) has just been elected fellow of the Econometric Society, the international society for the advancement of economic theory in its relation to statistics and mathematics, as well as the publisher of Econometrica, Quantitative Economics, and Theoretical Economics.

Fellows represent the highest authority of the Econometric Society and elect its officers, Council and new fellows. The Council consults them on any vital question that affects the policy of the Society. A scholar who deserves the nomination is then a fellow for life.

To be eligible for nomination as a fellow, a member of the Econometric Society must have published original contributions to economic theory or statistical, mathematical, or accounting analyses that have a definite bearing on problems in economic theory. In the case of Marinacci, his contributions to the advancement of decision theory under uncertainty proved to be decisive for his election.

The other Bocconi professors out of the 471 active fellows of the Econometric Society are Pierpaolo Battigalli (Department of Decision Sciences and IGIER fellow) and Guido Tabellini (Department of Economics and IGIER fellow).
