Elinor Ostrom became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize in economics, along with fellow American Oliver Williamson for analyzing economic governance, on Monday.
Ostrom, a political scientist at Indiana University, showed how common resources — forests, fisheries, oil fields or grazing lands — can be managed by the people who use them succesfully as opposed to a government agency.
Ostrom was also the fifth woman to win a Nobel award this year. She was also one of the 11 american’s who wom an nobel peace prize this year.
