Royal Economic Society

The Econometrics Journal published a special issue celebrating the seminal contributions of Philip G. Wright (1928), to causal inference in economics, which include the invention of instrumental variables (IV) estimation and an early economic application of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). In the editorial, Jaap Abbring, Victor Chernozhukov, and Iván Fernandez-Vál provide a modern perspective on these contributions, in a lecture note format that can be useful for teaching. Both this editorial and a reproduction of Wright’s original text are freely available online.

Help RES to bring communities of economists together! One of our four strategic priorities includes bringing communities of economists together to exchange knowledge and learn from each other. See what RES member Seula Kim (Penn State University) has to say about our RES Conference. Knowledge exchange is vital to any discipline and is particularly important in economics, where high-quality research informs better policy decisions. Through our different events, initiatives and the RES Member Directory, we hope to create a strong network of economists from different career stages, countries, areas of expertise and employment sectors. If you want to be a part of this network and help expand our goal, please consider becoming a member with RES.

Read our gender monitoring report from the RES Women’s Committee – Report on the status of women in academic economics within the UK. The research finds that overall female representation in academic economics improved steadily over the 10 academic years ending in 2021/22, growing by over 6 percentage points to just under 30%, or a ratio of almost 1 in 3. Gender convergence in representation happened at a faster pace in junior and mid-seniority positions than it did at the top. The report also covers findings on gender pay gap and the leaky pipeline.
