埃莉洛·奥斯特罗姆

1954级 1962文学硕士 1965哲学博士 政治经济学家  诺贝尔奖获得者

埃莉洛·奥斯特罗姆是唯一一位获得诺贝尔经济学奖的女性，她十分平易近人。她热诚地信奉“如果给予机会，人们会学会分享和成功”的观念。2009年，她因对个人和团队该如何比市场，公司或是政府更好地管理共享资源（如渔业或是信息系统）的分析获得了诺贝尔奖。她最初研究这类问题是在撰写哲学博士论文的时候。2012年，《时代杂志》将她列入世界上100名最有影响力的人物之一。在印第安纳大学布卢明顿分校她度过了漫长的职业生涯，在这，她和她的丈夫基于多重水平的资源管理的理念逐渐形成了“布卢明顿学校”的政治经济。

Elinor Ostrom

Class of 1954, MA 1962, Ph.D 1965

She Found The Comme Touch That Connect Us All.

The only woman to win a Nobel Prize for economics, Elinor Ostrom had the common touch. She is an ardent champion of the idea that people will learn to share and thrive if given the opportunity. She received her Nobel in 2009 for her analyses of how individuals and communities can manage common resources–fisheries, or information systems–as well as or better than markets, companies or governments. She first began to explore this line of work in her Ph.D. dissertation at UCLA. In 2012 Time Magazine named her one of the world’s 100 most influential people. She spent her long career at Indiana University in Bloomington, where she and her husband evolved the “Bloomington school” of political economy based on the concept of resource management at multiple levels.
