Unveiling the Gender Gap: Dr. Claudia Goldin's Nobel Prize-Winning Research

I'm Albert Schram, and I am economic historian. I'm here to talk to you about the fascinating research of Dr. Claudia Goldin, this year's Nobel Prize winner in Economics. Her work in the field of economic history is truly groundbreaking, and I want to dive deep into the details with you. Let me start by sharing a little bit about myself. I grew up in the Netherlands, where my father worked as a physicist at Utrecht University. Thanks to his connections, I had the privilege of meeting several Nobel laureates from a young age. However, not all of them encouraged my interest in exploring economic history or the intersections between the economic sciences and humanities. In fact, one physicist in particular used to jokingly say, "You know, there is even a Nobel prize in economics.", suggesting that economics is not a science. But I didn't let that discourage me, and today I'm excited to share Dr. Goldin's remarkable research and its implications for the fi...

One physicist in particular always liked to jokingly say “You know, there is even a Nobel prize in economics”. Leaving the issue of whether economics is a science aside, let’s dive into Goldin’s revolutionary research, and what it reveals about the ongoing development of economics as an intellectual pursuit. #Dr. Claudia Goldin of Harvard University was awarded th...
