Incredibly honored to receive this prize alongside three of my favorite macroeconomists, each pushing the frontier of what can be learned from serious theory, disciplined by an explosion of microdata. As @TimTkehoe says, God bless Minnesota Economics! ... even with frictions
Econometrica is pleased to announce the 2026 Frisch Medal for the best applied paper, awarded to Adrien Bilal, Niklas Engbom, Simon Mongey, and Giovanni L. Violante for “Firm and Worker Dynamics in a Frictional Labor Market.” econometricsociety.org/socie…

Fantastic news for our field, Ludwig being one of the very few undisputed intellectual leaders--and a wonderful human. Always humbling and inspiring to read, see present, or talk to--a "right" role model for the young and less young. Heartfelt congratulations @ludwigstraub !

Agree. I like the quote from Box: “all models are wrong, some are useful”.
Yes, Olivier Blanchard is right here. Silly models can be dead serious. I'm serious. Don't judge a model by how abstract or simple it is, but whether it delivers insight or helps organize thoughts. Just as in art, which is also about seeking truth
