Congratulations to contributing authors Esther Duflo and Abhijit V. Banerjee, of MIT, and Michael Kremer, of Harvard, who shared the 2019 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel “for their experimental approach to alleviating global poverty.”

Duflo was a founding Editorial Committee Member of the Annual Review of Economics. Listen to a 2011 interview in which she discusses the methods she developed and for which she is being recognised, in English and French.
