STOCKHOLM - U.S.-based economists Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer won the 2019 Nobel Economics Prize on Monday for work fighting poverty that has helped millions of children by favoring practical steps over theory.
It said the results of their studies and field experiments had ranged from helping millions of Indian schoolchildren with remedial tutoring to encouraging governments around the world to increase funding for preventative medicine. Applied to development economics, such field experiments found for example that providing more textbooks and free school meals had only small effects, while targeting help for weak students made a big difference to overall educational levels.

In sub-Saharan Africa, that proportion rises to 42%.
“I would congratulate them but still put that caveat that poverty is artificially made by human beings who put up systems that deny others the opportunity to realize their full potential,” said James Shikwati, head of the Nairobi-based Inter Regional Economic Network think tank.

Just this week, two Nobel Prizes for Harvard and one for MIT. And the Patriots will probably win the Super Bowl - again
Mr Abihijir Dulfo, which kind of “poor” persons did you study? Rural “poor”? Jungle “poor”? Tribal “poor”, or the Urban Poor? Proud of Miss Ester Dulfo’s achievement truly an inspiration to anyone
She IS a role model! ♥️
And the 6th husband and wife couple to win the Nobel. Félicitations a tous.

City state and federal taxes , never ending rate hikes , high rent ,low pay,. more and more homeless on the streets everyday , should be a freeze on prices for a few years
It's NOT the 'Nobel Economics Prize'. Look at the sign in the video. It's an award in *memory* of Alfred Nobel. NOT one of the real Nobel Prizes, as ordained by his will and testament.
Awards to people who don't really accomplish anything.
