Claudia Goldin and Esther Duflo
Claudia Goldin is professor at Harvard University (USA) and Nobel Prize in Economic Science 2023 “for having advanced our understanding of women’s labour market outcomes”. Esther Duflo is professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA) and Nobel Prize in Economic Science 2019 “for their experimental approach to alleviating global poverty”. We live in a word with big problems, i.e., poverty, violence, climate change, where many think that solutions are just a question of ideology. Do not look at how the world it is, just act and change it. The research of Professors Duflo and Goldin addresses important issues, how poor people can get out of the poverty trap, and how to redress women inequality in the labor market. But they want solutions that can work in the real world, so they try to understand how the world it is, overcoming prejudice and myth.
