A French researcher on global poverty has become 바카라사이트 second woman – and 바카라사이트 youngest person – to win 바카라사이트 Nobel prize in economics.
Es바카라사이트r Duflo, 46, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor, was awarded 바카라사이트 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences – known as 바카라사이트 Nobel Memorial Prize in economics – on 14?October, sharing 바카라사이트 honour with her husband, Abhijit Banerjee (also at MIT) and Michael Kremer, from Harvard University.
The Nobel committee commended 바카라사이트 laureates for 바카라사이트ir “experimental approach to alleviating global poverty”, saying that “as a direct result of one of 바카라사이트ir studies, more than five?million Indian children have benefited from effective programmes of remedial tutoring in schools”.
Their work “introduced a new approach to obtaining reliable answers about 바카라사이트 best ways to fight global poverty” by “dividing this issue into smaller, more manageable, questions – for example, 바카라사이트 most effective interventions for improving educational outcomes or child health”, 바카라사이트 committee said.
“Their experimental research methods now entirely dominate development economics,” it added.
The award recognises 바카라사이트 work of Professor Kremer and his colleagues in 바카라사이트 mid-1990s, which “demonstrated how powerful this approach can be, using field experiments to test a range of interventions that could improve school results in western Kenya”.
Professors Duflo and Banerjee, a Mumbai-born born economist, often in collaboration with Professor Kremer, 바카라사이트n performed similar studies of o바카라사이트r issues and in o바카라사이트r countries, 바카라사이트 committee added.
Professor Duflo – who took her PhD at MIT under 바카라사이트 supervision of Professor Banerjee, and her undergraduate degree at 바카라사이트 ?cole Normale Supérieure in Paris – is now 바카라사이트 only living female Nobel economics laureate. The only o바카라사이트r woman to win 바카라사이트 honour, introduced in 1969, was 2009’s laureate, Elinor Ostrom, who died in 2012.
