Manuel Arellano

Manuel Arellano is Professor of Economics at the Center for Monetary and Financial Studies (CEMFI) in Madrid since 1991, with prior appointments at the University of Oxford (1985-89) and London School of Economics (1989-91). A leading econometrician specializing in panel data analysis, his work bridges theoretical econometrics and labor economics applications.

He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Barcelona and Ph.D. from the London School of Economics.

Arellano's research focuses on econometric methodology for panel data, particularly dynamic models with heterogeneity. His seminal book Panel Data Econometrics (2003) established foundational frameworks for nonlinear and dynamic panel estimation. Current work extends to distributional analysis of random coefficients and robust inference under uncertainty, maintaining consistent emphasis on labor market applications like unemployment duration and policy evaluation.

His publication history reveals a 30-year trajectory advancing panel data econometrics, evolving from specification testing (1987-1995) to sophisticated dynamic and nonlinear models (2003-2014), with persistent focus on practical implementation and labor economics applications.

Major honors include:

• President of the Econometric Society (2014)
• Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2014)
• Rey Jaime I Prize in Economics (2012)
• ISI Highly Cited Researcher status (2010)
• Fellow of the Econometric Society (2002)
