Claudia Goldin, the first female tenured professor in the economics department of Harvard University, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics this year. She is the third woman to receive this honour – and the first to not be sharing it with a male researcher. The award recognises her lifelong work examining the wage inequality between men and women, and explaining how women’s labour force participation evolves over the different development stages of an economy in interaction with its culture.
