He is a Fellow of the Econometric Society, a Fellow of the European Economic Association and a Distinguished Fellow of the American Economic Association. He has been honoured with invitations to deliver lectures, such as the Frank Graham Memorial Lecture at Princeton University, the Schumpeter Lecture of the European Economic Association, the Walras-Bowley Lecture of the Econometric Society, the Frish Memorial Lecture of the Econometric Society and the Ohlin Lectures at the Stockholm School of Economics. He was awarded the Mahalanobis Memorial Medal by the Indian Econometric Society, the Bernhard-Harms Prize by the Institute for World Economics and the Nemmers Prize by Northwestern University.

He has held other tenured positions at Yale (1988-97), the University of Wisconsin (1986-88), and the University of Jerusalem (1985-86).

Pakes received the award for the best graduate student advisor at Yale in 1996. Pakes was elected fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2002. He received the Frisch Medal of the Econometric Society in 1986, was elected as a fellow of that society in 1988, and gave the Fisher-Schultz lecture at the World Congress of that society in 2005. He was the Distinguished Fellow of the Industrial Organization Society in 2007.

He is also a research associate of the NBER, and has been member of the AEA Committee on Government Statistics, the chair of the AEA Census Advisory Panel, and co-editor of Proceedings of the National Academy of Science issue on “Science, Technology and the Economy”. Professor Pakes’ research has been in Industrial Organization, the Economics of Technological Change and in Econometric Theory. He and his co-authors have recently focused on developing techniques which allow us to empirically analyze market responses to policy and environmental changes. This includes theoretical work on how to estimate demand and cost systems and then use the estimated parameters to analyze equilibrium responses in different institutional settings, empirical work which uses these techniques to analyze market outcomes in different industries, and the development of a framework for the applied analysis of dynamic oligopolies (with and without collusive possibilities). 24
