Albert Satorra is an Emeritus Research Professor of the Barcelona School of Economics (BSE) and an Emeritus Professor of Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), where he was a member of the Department of Economics and Business, one of BSE’s academic units.

Professor Satorra’s research lies in the intersection of applications of Statistics in Behavioral and Social Sciences and Economics, especially the analysis of structural equation models (SEMs, systems that involve latent variables and simultaneous equations).

His work has been published in Economics journals such as Experimental Economics and also in journals on Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science and other disciplines, including Organizational Research Methods, Psychometrika, and Structural Equation Modeling, among others.

He has been an Associate Editor of Psychometrika and Structural Equation Modeling, among other editorial positions.

Albert Satorra holds a PhD from Universitat de Barcelona.
