The Luis Toharia Grant

Luis Toharia (1951-2012) deeply influenced research on Labour Economics in Spain He exercised his excellent teaching and research duties in the Universidad de Alcalá in Madrid and had an intense career, featured by his extraordinary professional and personal qualities.

His research always focused on very relevant and socially concerned issues, rigorously marked by respectful and deep data treatment, to the point that his probably most relevant contribution has to do with the measurement of employment and unemployment. He also contributed to the improvement of labour statistics in Spain and, therefore, of the data-sets used nowadays by researchers. He also marked many other areas, and his work influenced the elaboration of social and labour market policies. With his well-known extraordinary academic generosity he trained several generations of labour economists and contributed to open spaces for discussion; he personally promoted the creation of the Jornadas de Economía Laboral from 1995 and the creation of AEET (Spanish Association of Labour Economists) in 2005. His intellectual honesty, his friendly teaching and generosity make him a key figure and a crucial reference for the next generations of labour market researchers in Spain.

In the aim of honouring him for his interest and devotion to incorporate our youngest colleagues in the Jornadas de Economía Laboral, the AEET launched in 2013 a set of grants addressed to support their participation in the Jornadas de Economía Laboral.
