American female professor awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Economics

On the afternoon of October 9th (Hanoi time), the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced that the 2023 Nobel Prize in Economics has been awarded to Professor Claudia Goldin (USA) for her research that has improved the world's understanding of the impact of women on the labor market.

This award concluded the Christmas week of 2023. Professor Claudia Goldin is the third woman to win the Nobel Prize in Economics in the award's 55-year history.

Last year, the Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded to three economists: Ben S. Bernanke of the Brookings Institute (USA), Douglas W. Diamond of the University of Chicago (USA), and Philip H. Dybvig of the University of Washington (USA), for their research on banking and financial crises.

Professor Claudia Goldin's research is based on data from the United States over the past 200 years, allowing her to demonstrate how and why income and employment for men and women have changed over time.

She demonstrated that women's participation in the labor market did not tend to increase during this period, but instead followed a U-shaped pattern.

Professor Claudia Goldin, currently working at Harvard University (USA), is an expert in labor history and economics. She is also the author of several books and is best known for her work on the history of women in the American economy.

From 1969 to 2022, 54 Nobel Prizes in Economics were awarded to 92 individuals. The youngest recipient of this prestigious award was Esther Duflo (then 46 years old), while the oldest recipient was economist Leonid Hurwicz (at age 90).
