Angus Deaton

Дата рождения: October 19, 1945 – Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom

Angus Deaton is a Scottish-American economist and author whose work focuses on poverty, health, consumption, inequality, and economic development.

Deaton received the 2015 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for research on consumption, poverty, and welfare.

Биография и Путь Автора

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))
