The IZA Prize in Labor Economics 2010 was awarded to U.S. economist Francine D. Blau (Cornell University). The prestigious award recognizes Blau's seminal contributions to the economic analysis of labor market inequality. She has written extensively on the role of women in the labor market and on gender differences in pay and many other aspects of economic life. Her work has profoundly shaped the view of scholars and policymakers on the causes and consequences of gender differences in economic outcomes, and on policies for advancing women’s labor market position and well-being.
The award ceremony took place at the ASSA annual meetings in Denver on January 8, 2011 [view program].
