2: Abhijit Banerjee

Banerjee shared the 2019 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences with Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer “for their experimental approach to alleviating global poverty”.
Expressing concern over the slowing growth of the Indian economy, Abhijit Banerjee said that the government should make policies that work and not policies that they imagine will work. “I think there is always a little bit of a willingness in India to announce a policy because they sound good or they have a political purpose. The general message is you should carefully evaluate them, understand whether the policy works or not, and take it from there. Even now I think it is not that the policies are evaluated based on accepted criteria and looked at as an option. Pradhan Mantri says it happens. That style of thinking is partly what we are resisting,” he said.
