The Institute of Economics invites students, researchers, and all interested individuals to a lecture presented by Prof. Johannes Lohse. Discover the work of Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson, and James A. Robinson, the distinguished recipients of this year's Alfred Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. These three researchers have received this price for their studies on how institutions shape and drive prosperity, revealing insights into the persistent economic disparities between nations. Through their work on political and economic systems influenced by European colonization, they have established a profound connection between institutional persistence and the wealth of nations. Prof. Lohse will showcase selected contributions that highlight the approach and key insights from their work.
