Abhijit Banerjee : Nobel Prize winner in Economics

Indian-American economist Abhijit Banerjee has won the 2019 Nobel Prize in Economics, along with
Esther Duflo of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Michael Kremer of Harvard University “for

National Moot Court Competition - 2019

their experimental approach to alleviating global poverty.”  The three were recognised for their ability to
divide the issue of tackling global poverty into smaller subjects, said the committee. “The research
conducted by this year’s laureates has considerably improved our ability to fight global poverty,” The
Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said.
Abhijit Vinayak Banerjee was educated at the University of Calcutta, Jawaharlal Nehru University and
Harvard University, where he received his Ph.D in 1988. He is currently the Ford Foundation
International Professor of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 2003 he founded
the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL), along with Esther Duflo and Sendhil Mullainathan,
and he remains one of the lab’s directors. Banerjee is a past president of the Bureau for the Research in
the Economic Analysis of Development, a Research Associate of the NBER, a CEPR research fellow,
International Research Fellow of the Kiel Institute, a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences and the Econometric Society, and has been a Guggenheim Fellow and an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow
and a winner of the Infosys prize. He is the author of a large number of articles and four books,
including Poor Economics, which won the Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year. He is the editor of
three more books and has directed two documentary films. He also served on the U.N. Secretary-General’s
High-level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda.Banerjee and his co-workers
try to measure the effectiveness of actions (such as government programmes) in improving people's lives.
For this, they use randomized controlled trials, similar to clinical trials in medical research. For example,
although polio vaccination is freely available in India, many mothers were not bringing their children for
the vaccination drives. Banerjee and Prof. Esther Duflo, also from MIT, tried an experiment in Rajasthan,
where they gifted a bag of pulses to mothers who vaccinated their children. Soon, the immunisation rate
went up in the region. In another experiment, they found that learning outcomes improved in schools
that were provided with teaching assistants to help students with special needs.
