Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo, and Michael Kremer received the Nobel Prize in Economics for their ‘experimental approach to alleviating global poverty.’
Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo (who are a couple) work as professors at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, and Michael Kremer works as a professor at Harvard University. The award went to them for their work on a scientific method that identifies the causes of poverty and analyzes the costs and benefits of state apparatus intervention.
Esther Duflo, born in 1972, is the second woman and the youngest person in history to receive Nobel Prize in Economics.
