Nobel winners Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo have gifted to the Nobel Prize Museum here two important pieces associated with their research -- two bags made by women from Ghana and three books for children published by voluntary group Pratham in India.
Economist couple Banerjee and Duflo, who on Tuesday received Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel from King Carl Gustaf, also paid a customary visit to the museum in the Stortorget in Gamla Stan, old town area here as part of the Nobel week celebrations.
The Nobel Week lasts from December 6-14.
Banerjee and Duflo, work at the prestigious the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, won the 2019 Nobel Economics Prize along with another economist Michael Kremer on October 14.
They have been awarded the 2019 Prize in Economic Sciences "for their experimental approach to alleviating global poverty."
