Professor Sascha Becker elected Fellow of Econometric Society
We are delighted to announce that Sascha Becker, Professor of Economics in the Department of Economics, has been elected a Fellow of the Econometric Society.
Professor Becker becomes one of the 42 new Fellows from six regions of the world who have been recognised for their contribution to Economics. Since its foundation in 1930, the Econometric Society have appointed 1,187 fellows.
The Econometrics Society is an international society for the advancement of economic theory in its relation to statistics and mathematics. It publishes important economic journals: Econometrica, Quantitative Economics, Theoretical Economics as well as the Monograph Series. It also organises annual scientific meetings in six regions of the world and a World Congress once every five years.
Professor Sascha Becker commented about his achievement:
“I was super happy to receive the news about being elected Fellow of the Econometric Society. The co-founders of the Society, Josef Schumpeter and Ragnar Frisch, in their “Memorandum re the Econometric Society” wrote in 1931: “We are of the opinion that the list of fellows should be very restricted. As a rule, a fellow ought to unite in the same person both the economic, the statistical and the mathematical point of view. “
I am extremely grateful to have been deemed worthy of joining the ranks of such an amazing group of Fellows. Many of them inspired me on my journey as an economist, after having started my studies in mathematics and physics.”
Head of Department, Professor Ben Lockwood said:
“I was very pleased to hear of Sascha’s news and I congratulate him on this achievement. Sascha joins the other Fellows of the Econometric Society in the Department: Bhaskar Dutta, Roger Farmer, Peter Hammond, Motty Perry, Herakles Polemarchakis, Debraj Ray, Eric Renault and Ken Wallis. This means that with nine Fellows, we are in the fourth position in the UK (behind only LSE, Oxford and UCL) in the number of Fellows in Departments of Economics.”
We congratulate Professor Sascha Becker and wish him further successes in the future.
