Ekonomipristagaren i debatt om Beyoncé-låt
Beyoncés singel ”Break my soul” startade en het debatt bland ekonomer förra året, huruvida det var lämpligt att sluta på sitt jobb med tanke på det ekonomiska läget.
Årets ekonomipristagare Claudia Goldin gav sig då in i diskussionen – med att hävda att Beyoncés låt troligen inte ens handlar om att lämna jobbet.
– Jag tror inte hon uppmanar folk att sluta sina jobb, sa Harvardprofessorn till Wall Street Journal.
Amerikanska Claudia Goldin får årets ekonomipris till Alfred Nobels minne för sin forskning om jämställdhet och kvinnors roll på arbetsmarknaden.

Claudia Goldin (born May 14, 1946) is an American economic historian and labor economist who is currently the Henry Lee Professor of Economics at Harvard University. She is a co-director of the NBER's Gender in the Economy Study Group and was the director of the NBER’s Development of the American Economy program from 1989 to 2017. Goldin's research covers a wide range of topics, including the female labor force, the gender gap in earnings, income inequality, technological change, education, and immigration. Most of her research interprets the present through the lens of the past and explores the origins of current issues of concern. Her recently completed book Career & Family: Women's Century-Long Journey toward Equity (Princeton University Press) was released on October 5, 2021.
Goldin was the president of the American Economic Association in the 2013–14 academic year.
In 1990, Goldin became the first tenured woman at Harvard's economics department. In 2023, she was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences "for having advanced our understanding of women's labour market outcomes".
