Professor Sir Richard Blundell, Director of CPP, receives Erwin Plein Nemmers Prize in Economics

Richard Blundell, Director of CPP, is being awarded the Erwin Plein Nemmers Prize in Economics for his important contributions to labour economics, public finance and applied econometrics.

Statement by the Nemmers Committee:

Blundell’s research covers the empirical microeconomic study of consumer, savings and labor supply behavior.

He has developed micro-data based models for intertemporal decisions over labour supply, human capital and consumption. Blundell also has analysed family labour supply behavior and the interaction between consumer and labour supply behavior, while developing new microeconometric tools for the study of dynamic panel data models and the nonparametric analysis of individual decisions.
