Firstly, for his work on cointegration methodology and other time-series econometric techniques that study the evolution of economic variables over time. Secondly, for his significant contributions to the study of the labour market, particularly duality and its effects on labour market dynamics and unemployment. His work in both areas ranges from pure econometrics to applied research on economic policy proposals in Spain and the rest of Europe.
