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.

#Good day, I am Albert Schram and I hold a doctorate in Economic History from the European University Institute.  Today, we will be discussing this year's Nobel Prize in Economics winner, Dr. Claudia Goldin, and analyzing her groundbreaking contributions to the field of economic history.

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...
