Many would agree that the premier econometrician in the world today is Robert Engle. Throughout his long career he has developed successful models that not only serve academics but investors, companies and regulators as well. In 2003, Professor Engle was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for his groundbreaking work in volatility modeling. The family of ARCH models, which was first developed by Professor Engle in the 1980s, is still used today as a key tool for financial time series analysis. Besides his accomplishments in economics, Engle is also a dab hand at time management, because despite having a crammed calendar, he’s also managed to reach the peak of success as a semi-professional ice-dancer.
