I was reading this news in the morning and then explored some of their work. So fascinating. I might end up citing some of their work in my future papers.

Dear Group,

This year's Nobel Prize in Economics is awarded to Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo, and Michael Kremer, who are famous for their work in poverty alleviation. Of them, Abhijit and Esther co-authored a book called "Poor Economics" which is very famous in our field.

This news is very inspiring for our field. I am also very happy personally because Abhijit is also a Bengali. :-)

Best Regards, Ishtiaque
