Abstract: Abstract Albert Rees played a critical role in both the profession of economics and US government economic policy. One of the first scholars to gather large-scale labour market data sets, he also designed and ran a pathbreaking early randomised control trial (RCT) of a public policy, introducing the technique of RCTs into the social sciences. Rees served in leadership roles at the University of Chicago and Princeton University as well as in philanthropy and, several times, in various administrative and advisory roles in the US government.
