Banco de España and CEMFI organized a Conference on econometric methods and empirical analysis of micro data in honor of Manuel Arellano that took place at Banco de España’s premises, in Madrid, on 11-12 July 2022.

The various presentations of the conference reflect Manuel Arellano's far-ranging interests, covering topics in econometrics, labor economics and causal inference. In particular, it featured research studies that propose novel concepts to be measured and the techniques for doing so. Such concepts are often introduced following the availability of new economic data because the ability to innovate in the measurement of relevant characteristics of the economy depends on the access to the necessary observation mechanisms.

The conference featured presentations from distinguished researchers: Victor Aguirregabiria, Martín Almuzara, Orazio Attanasio, Richard Blundell, Stephen Bond, Stéphane Bonhomme, Jesús Carro, Jinyong Hahn, Bo Honoré, Laura Hospido, Joan Llull, Costas Meghir, Enrique Moral-Benito, Lucciano Villacorta, Martin Weidner, and Gema Zamarro. Pablo Hernández de Cos, Governor of the Banco de España, opened the conference.
