Professor Charles F. Manski, Invited Speaker of the 2025 Solari Conference

The Solari Lecture 2025 took place on Thursday, 5 June in Geneva. The guest speaker was Professor Charles F. Manski, Board of Trustees Professor in Economics at Northwestern 玉美人传媒 and a renowned expert in econometrics, decision theory, and public policy. His lecture was based on his latest book, "Discourse on Social Planning under Uncertainty" (Cambridge, 2025).

The event opened with a welcome address by Professor Salvatore Di Falco, Vice Dean for Research at the Geneva School of Economics and Management. Professor Manski was introduced by GSEM Professor Aleksey Tetenov, a former doctoral student of Professor Manski.

In his presentation, Professor Charles F. Manski addressed the challenges of making sound public policy decisions in contexts of deep uncertainty. He explored how policymakers can act responsibly without full knowledge of the outcomes, drawing on examples ranging from medical decision-making to climate policy.

Professor Manski argued that addressing societal challenges, such as climate change, requires not only careful planning but also strategies to manage uncertainty in policy decisions. He emphasized the importance of developing flexible frameworks that allow for adaptive responses to unforeseen consequences. These ideas were further explored in a Q&A session with the audience.

Each year, the Solari Lecture welcomes distinguished guests specialized in economics and econometrics, in memory of Luigi Solari, professor at the 玉美人传媒 and pioneer in introducing research in econometrics in Switzerland. Since its first edition in 1979, this conference has featured many notable guest speakers.
