                        Friday, October 15, 2021

  Ms. ESHOO. Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring 
my distinguished constituent, a recipient of the 2021 Nobel Memorial 
Prize in Economic Sciences, Stanford University Professor Guido W. 
Imbens. The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of 
Alfred Nobel, more commonly known as the Nobel Prize in Economics, is 
given by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm and was 
established in 1968, joining the five original prizes established by 
Alfred Nobel in his 1895 will. Dr. Imbens is being honored with his 
colleague Joshua D. Angrist of the Massachusetts Institute of 
Technology for methodological contributions to the analysis of causal 
relationships.
  Guido Imbens is the Applied Econometrics Professor and Professor of 
Economics at the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB). He is a 
senior fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research 
and Amman Mineral faculty fellow for 2021-22. He is a fellow of the 
American Academy of Arts and the Econometric Society, served as a 
Stanford GSB Trust faculty fellow in 2013 and 2014, and holds an 
honorary Doctorate from the University of St. Gallen. A graduate of 
Brown University, where he earned his Ph.D., he taught at Harvard, UCLA 
and UC Berkeley before joining the GSB in 2012. His research focuses on 
developing methods for drawing causal relationships in observational 
studies, using matching, instrumental variables and regression 
continuity designs.
  Madam Speaker, I ask the entire House of Representatives to join me 
in congratulating Dr. Guido W. Imbens on receiving this most 
prestigious award, recognizing his contributions to the field of 
economics. It's my privilege to represent him, pay tribute to his 
brilliance, and thank him for making every American proud of his 
accomplishments.
