Biografie & Werdegang des Autors
Angus Deaton was born in Edinburgh in 1945 and educated at Hawick High School, Fettes, and Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, where he studied mathematics before completing his doctorate in 1974. After a short period at the Bank of England, he returned to academic life, worked with Richard Stone in Cambridge, became professor of econometrics at Bristol in 1975, and moved to Princeton in 1983. Those early turns set the pattern for a career centered on measurement and on everyday welfare rather than abstraction alone. In 2015 he received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his analysis of consumption, poverty, and welfare. ((https://spia.princeton.edu/faculty/deaton?utm_source=openai))
