Every 5 years, the World Congress of the Econometric Society brings together scholars from around the world. Leading scholars present state-of-the-art overviews of their areas of research, offering newcomers access to key research in economics. Advances in Economics and Econometrics: Twelfth World Congress consists of papers and commentaries presented at the Twelfth World Congress of the Econometric Society. This two-volume set includes surveys and interpretations of key developments in economics and econometrics, and discussions of future directions for a variety of topics, covering both theory and application. The first volume addresses such topics as contract theory, industrial organization, health and human capital, as well as racial justice, while the second volume includes theoretical and applied papers on climate change, time-series econometrics, and causal inference. These papers are invaluable for experienced economists seeking to broaden their knowledge or young economists new to the field.

Robin Hogarth (*1942) has been a research professor at the Department of Economics and Business at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona since early 2000. He came to Barcelona as a visiting professor from the Graduate School of Business at the University of Chicago (now the Booth School of Business), where he held various positions, most notably the director of the Center for Decision Research (1983–1993) and Wallace W. Booth Professor of Behavioral Science. From early on in his career, Hogarth has been concerned not only with economics but with crossing disciplinary boundaries to study human behavior, an approach that has characterized his research ever since. In 1972, he earned his PhD at Chicago under the supervision of the American psychologist Hillel J. Einhorn, placing his research focus on psychology and statistics. In his various positions at Chicago, he thereafter focused his research largely on studying processes and judgments behind human decision-making in microeconomics and business, laying the ground for a research program in what has been called Behavioral Decision Theory together with Einhorn, a program concerned with evaluating and developing ways for improving behavior but on the basis of empirically studying the mechanisms behind judgment and choice (e.g., Einhorn/Hogarth 1981).

The foundations of economic systems have long been a major concern for Duncan Foley (*1942). One core project throughout his career has been to explain how “the aggregate system [for instance, the economy] stays together” (Colander et al. 2004, 204). In the context of contemporary economics, this means thinking about how to articulate the behavior of individual agents at the micro-level such that it provides proper foundations for macro-phenomena (see also Colander et al. 2004, 23). Foley has approached this question from multiple perspectives, thereby questioning the common but simplified perspective all too common in current equilibrium models (e.g., Farmer and Foley 2009). Foley was educated at Swarthmore College and Yale University where he began his work under the supervision of Herbert Scarf and James Tobin, taking an approach that has often been labeled “mainstream economics.” Unsatisfied with this mainstream approach of equilibrium and utility maximization under constraints, Foley eventually moved to more heterodox perspectives, becoming professor at Barnard College and subsequently Leo Model Professor of Economics at the New School for Social Research in 1999 where he has stayed until his retirement in 2022.
