The Department of Economics is organizing a conference for our PhD alumni to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the UC3M Economics PhD program.
The conference will take place on June 5-6, 2025 and will feature a distinguished lecture by Pedro H.C. Sant’Anna (Emory University) on new Difference-in-Differences Methods.
The Royal Economic Society (RES) has appointed Professor Antonio Cabrales as a Founding Fellow, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the field of economics. Founded in 1890, the RES is one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious economic associations, and its Fellowship program honors individuals who have made a significant impact on the discipline.
The announcement was made by RES President and Nobel Laureate Prof. Sir Christopher Pissarides, who revealed the names of the inaugural group of Fellows. The full list can be found here.
Professor Cabrales joins a distinguished group of economists whose work has advanced economic research, policy, and education at both national and international levels.
Our team, consisting of David Díaz-Villarejo, as captain, Andrey David Ramos, Carlos Pérez y Piero Bertino will participate in the next edition of the Econometric Game which takes place in Amsterdam from April, 9 to 10.
This competition, which involves teams from a selection of International Universities, challenges its participants to solve a case study of Econometrics subsequently evaluated by a jury of independent and qualified professors.
The UC3M Department of Economics has won the competition three times since 2007 (the first year of participation of the Department of Economics). In 2018, the team composed of Miguel Ángel Cabello, Yuhao Li, Francisco Pareschi, and Julius Vainora, won the contest ahead of Harvard and Copenhagen University teams in a competition in which 30 universities participated. The UC3M is one of the few universities that has won the award three times.
