Anil K. Bera

Anil K. Bera (born 1955) is an Indian-American econometrician. He is Professor of Economics at University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign's Department of Economics. He is most noted for his work with Carlos Jarque on the Jarque–Bera test.

Early life
Anil K. Bera was born in a remote village Paschimchak, West Bengal, India. His father was a doctor who charged no formal fees from his patients and relied on voluntary contributions. Bera was living with his seven brothers and two sisters at that time. His mother never went to school but she appreciated and understood the importance of education. She always made sure that Bera never missed a day of school or arrived late.

Education and career[] Bera attended his village school Paschimchak Pry School and JalchakJalchak Nateswari Netaji Vidyayatan, Narendrapur Ramkrishna Mission Residential College, and the Indian Statistical Institute, Calcutta and Delhi. In 1971, he was admitted to Ramkrishna Mission Residential College, Narendrapur in 1971 to do an Honors in Statistics with Physics and Mathematics as auxiliary subjects. Bera received a B.Sc. from Calcutta University in 1975 in Statistics (First Class), a master's degree from Indian Statistical Institute in 1977 in Econometrics and Planning (First Class), and a Ph.D. in 1983 from Australian National University (Phd Aspects of Econometric Modeling). He was also a CORE Fellow at the Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium. Bera is named to the List of Teachers Rated as Excellent almost every semester he teaches. He received the Economics Graduate Students' Organization (EGSO) Award for Excellence in Graduate Teaching eight times since 1989, the College of Commerce Alumni Association Outstanding Teaching Award for Graduate Teaching in 1991 and Honorable Mention of the Campus Award for Excellence in Graduate and Professional Teaching in 2005. He visits his hometown regularly, and is currently engaged in some development projects, such as building a Free Library and a Primary School building. Established and running a Free Learning Center for needy children in village Paschimchak (West Midnapore, India) under A. Bera Center for Development and Education (ABCDE), since January 2020. ABCDE now has 80 students and 10 teachers.
