Matias Damian Cattaneo (born May 16, 1978) is an Argentine scientist, Professor of Economics at Princeton University. His research focuses on econometrics, statistics, data science and decision science, with applications to program evaluation and causal inference. He is known for his work on Regression discontinuity designs and Nonparametric statistics.
Cattaneo is a co-editor of Econometric Theory, and has served in editorial boards of leading academic journals across various disciplines, including the Journal of the American Statistical Association, Econometrica, and Operations Research.
Education and academic career
Cattaneo received his Licentiate from UBA in 2000, and his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 2008, under supervision of James L. Powell.[1] From 2008 to 2019, Cattaneo taught at the University of Michigan. He joined Princeton University as a Professor in the Department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering in 2019.[2] He later moved to the Department of Economics in 2026.
