More Women in Love....with Economics

No woman had won the John Bates Clark Medal in the first 60 years that the American Economic Association awarded the prize, considered by economists as second in prestige only to the Nobel Prize. But last year Amy Finkelstein became the third woman in the last five years to receive the honor. The previous female recipients are Susan Athey and Esther Duflo.

If these prize winners are any indication, then it would seem that more talented young women than ever are falling in love....with economics!
