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.

Coupa Cafe is a noisy place in the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University, so I worried that I would not be able to hear David Kreps (*1950). February had been rainy in California and sitting inside a crowded café shouting at each other about the potentials and limitations of choice theory did not appeal to me. But on the day of the interview, the air and the campus were heating up. We therefore stepped outside to have our coffee at one of the tables right in the heart of the business school. Kreps has taught here since 1975, after he finished his PhD in Operations Research at Stanford University. While he had started off as an economic theorist, I quickly realized in our conversation that parts of his research had become more applied in recent years. One reason for approaching Kreps was his well-known textbook Notes on the Theory of Choice, which had first prompted me to see that there exist different variants of rational choice theory in economics, which were rarely separated. Kreps makes clear that what he calls “choice theory” is clearly something conceptually different from standard utility theories that are part of a standard economics curriculum.
