The importance of being more curious than good.

Guido W. Imbens, the 2021 Nobel Prize laureate in Economics, shared the highlights of his extraordinary scientific career with our academic community during the event “Causality in Econometrics: My evaluation as an econometrician,” focusing on innovative methods and the latest research in economics and the social sciences.

His work marked a turning point in economic analysis, providing new tools for understanding cause-and-effect relationships in the field of economics, with significant implications for other social sciences as well.

Professor Imbens emphasized that causal analysis demands not only a solid methodological foundation, but also a particular mindset: the ability to stay curious and ask the right questions.
