## Why They Matter
Ricardo Reis has had a measurable influence on contemporary macroeconomics and related fields through a combination of research, teaching, and mentorship. His election to key scholarly bodies and receipt of major awards (Econometric Society Fellowship 2019; Yrjö Jahnsson Award 2021; British Academy Fellowship 2024) mark recognition by peers of the importance and quality of his contributions. His academic appointments at Columbia University and later at the London School of Economics placed him in leading economics departments, enabling him to train PhD students who continue research in the field. Reis’s indexed scholarly presence (RePEc, SSRN, Scopus, Google Scholar) documents a sustained publication record that underlies the honours he has received. The prizes and fellowships tied to his research indicate his work has shaped debates in macroeconomics, finance, and econometrics; without his contributions, the specific research programs he led and the doctoral researchers he supervised would have followed different trajectories, and the communities that awarded him honours would have lacked the particular scholarship recognized by those awards.
