Andrea Saltelli

Andrea Saltelli, 51, is an applied statistician, with a steady flow of publications in disciplinary journals over the last 30 years, on topics from Chemistry to Environmental Sciences to Applied Statistics and Econometrics. He focused on sensitivity analysis, trying to foster the use of quantitative methods in all settings where mathematical or computational models are used. Presently leads the Econometric and Applied Statistics Unit of the Joint Research Centre in Ispra. The Unit, with a staff of 22, develops econometric and statistic applications, mostly in support to the Services of the European Commission, for macroeconomic modelling, business cycle analysis, and various indicators, such as output gap, internal market, knowledge economy and others. The Unit is also active on financial econometrics in support to the single market initiatives, and for indicators for education and training.
