Abhijit V. Banerjee
Nacido: February 21, 1961 – Bombay, Maharashtra, India
Abhijit V. Banerjee is an Indian-born economist whose work centers on development economics, poverty, and evidence-based policy, especially randomized controlled trials.

Biografía y Trayectoria del Autor
Abhijit V. Banerjee was born in Mumbai in 1961 into a family of economists and was educated at the University of Calcutta, Jawaharlal Nehru University, and Harvard, where he earned his doctorate. He has described his years at JNU as intellectually and politically formative, a period that sharpened his sense of how class, caste, gender, and activism shape public life. After early appointments at Princeton and Harvard, he built the bulk of his career at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, eventually becoming Ford Foundation International Professor of Economics. The combination of formal theory, moral seriousness, and curiosity about how poor people actually live became the foundation of his later work.
