Nobel Noteworthy
10/14/2019 |
Earlier this morning, the Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded to a trio of economists, Abhijit Banerjee and his wife Esther Duflo (only the second woman to win an Economics Nobel and the youngest recipient ever at 46) both from MIT, and Michael Kremer of Harvard. They won the award for their experiment-based approach to alleviating poverty in the developing world rather than basing solutions on economic theory. Congratulations!
