Prize in Economics in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2019 \u2013 my favorite female candidates<\/h2>\n

It is hard to predict the winner(s) of the Nobel Prize in Economics (formally:\u201dThe Riksbank\u2019s Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel\u201d). There are around 200-300 serious candidates. In the past 16 years, I predicted 22 out of totally 35 winners, mainly by checking out the research areas which primarily deserved the award and then by trying to find the most outstanding researchers in those areas.<\/p>\n

Like in 2018, I do not<\/em> mainly focus on the most probable forecasts for the leading candidates but concentrate this year again on summing up a number of female economists <\/strong>who would deserve the award by now \u2013 and there are certainly more names outside my list. I conclude that there should be room for more courageous prize decisions \u2013 both when it comes to gender, ethnical and geographical background. For years, I have been complaining about the underrepresentation of female prize winners; despite my encouraging conclusions I am very much aware of this structural problem. Until now, Elinor Ostrom still is the only female laureate (who regularly was on my lists before her turn in 2009). This shortcoming will certainly change – but when? I do hope already this year. Current embarrassing gender statistics must be improved.<\/p>\n

My own preferred five main female candidates<\/u> <\/strong>are this time again (without ranking):<\/p>\n

Susan Athey <\/strong>(Stanford), Marianne Bertrand<\/strong> (Chicago) Ester Duflo <\/strong>(MIT), Claudia Goldin <\/strong>(Harvard), and Anne Krueger <\/strong>(Johns Hopkins Univ).<\/p>\n

I also add my old and broad list of 35 (40) candidates from 2017<\/u><\/strong> which still should have a probability of around 15 percent to include this year\u2019s winner(s); 5 new names <\/strong>replace two economists who finally got the prize and three researchers who passed away. My list of possible candidates who I called in 2017 \u201ccourageous choices\u201d<\/u> <\/strong>can be found again.<\/p>\n

Research areas<\/u><\/strong> that should be focused on in 2019<\/u><\/strong> are – as last year – according to my own preference:<\/p>\n

\u00a4 growth and development theory, poverty, and international trade,
\n\u00a4 labor market economics\/the welfare state from both\u00a0 a macroeconomic and a microeconomic angle,
\n\u00a4 banking and financial markets (not so much monetary policy),
\n\u00a4 field experiments as part micro research,
\n\u00a4 politics, law, the environment, health, sociology, gender issues\u00a0 – all with links to economics,
\n\u00a4 econometrics and statistics.<\/em><\/p>\n
