Charles Manski, a professor at Northwestern University in Chicago, has been awarded the XVIII BBVA Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Economics, Finance, and Business Management for his pioneering research in measuring uncertainty, an increasingly critical aspect of economic research amidst global economic chaos. The BBVA Foundation noted that Manski's work has made him a key figure in econometrics, significantly impacting empirical research in various fields including education, healthcare policies, labor markets, industrial policies, and social programs. His contributions are particularly timely, as they provide valuable insights for policymakers navigating the complex landscape of economic uncertainty, particularly with the ongoing challenges posed by international economic instability.
