Americans Ostrom, Williamson Win Nobel Economics, Ostrom First Woman


Yeah America!! Yeah women!! Wait, I can say that right?

Americans Elinor Ostrom and Oliver Williamson won the Nobel economics prize on Monday for their analyses of economic governance — the way authority is exercised in companies and economic systems.

Ostrom was the first woman to win the prize since it was founded in 1968, and the fifth woman to win a Nobel award this year — a Nobel record.
