A woman in honor: Elinor Ostrom, the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Economics


Elinor Ostrom, a professor of political science at Indiana University is the co-winner of the 2009 Nobel Prize in Economics. Ostrom, thus becomes the first woman to win this prize in its 40-year history.

She was praised for her analysis of economic governance, especially the commons.

Ostrom’s work shows that local communities often manage common resources such as woods, lakes and fish stocks, better on their own than when outside authorities impose rules, the Nobel committee said.

It is to remind that the Nobel prize in Economics was instituted by the Swedish Central Bank since 1968 in memory of Alfred Nobel.

Congratulations to Madam Osborm for winning this prize, which previously seemed reserved for men.
