Abstract: Abhijit Banerjee is an Indian-American Economist and a Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Banerjee shared the 2019 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences with Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer “for their experimental approach to alleviating global poverty”. They often worked with each other, focused on relatively small and specific problems that contributed to poverty, and identified the best solutions through carefully designed field experiments, which they conducted in several low- and middle-income countries for more than two decades.
