Abstract: This year’s Nobel Prize in Economics goes to Claudia Goldin from Harvard University. She is a labour economist as much as an economic historian, and only the third woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Economics. Goldin revolutionised our knowledge and understanding of women’s educational and occupational choices, their labour market careers and the family obligations they have faced over the centuries. Her work is extremely broad, spanning from historical studies of girls’ educational choices in the 19th century to the determinants of the gender pay gap in the 21st century. Her work sheds light on important economic and social developments that many have been overlooked. She identifies patterns and relationships that were previously hidden or unknown, and shows novel causal mechanisms for long-run changes that are di˚cult to identify empirically.
