Acclaimed scholar Elinor Ostrom visits the School of Economics.
Ostrom is the co-recipient of the 2009 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences since 2001.  She is an expert on “common pool” or shared resources, which include resources such as fisheries, forests and grazing lands. She has studied interactions between humans and these natural resources, with an emphasis on strategies that promote long-term, sustainable yields.
