Originally from France, she teaches at MIT and was awarded one of the most prestigious recognitions in the world in the field of economics in 2001: the John Bates Clark Medal, which commends the best US economist under 40. The economist in question is Esther Duflo, who held a lecture on gender equality and development at Bocconi yesterday. The event was the first Bocconi Lecture, a new series of conferences in the Economy and the Open Society international forum, organized by Bocconi and Corriere della Sera. The Bocconi Lecture series will invite an economics scholar to Bocconi each year who is particularly distinguished due to the innovation in his or her work (photo by Paolo Tonato-Camera Work)
