Raghuram Rajan’s name in Clarivate’s list of possible Nobel Prize in economics winners

Former Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan’s name figures in this year’s list of possible winners of Nobel Prize in economics brought out by Clarivate Analytics, an earlier unit of Thomson Reuters, according to The Indian Express.

Currently, Rajan is the Katherine Dusak Miller Distinguished Service Professor of Finance at University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business.

Every year, Clarivate Analytics publishes a list of possible Nobel Prize winners based on research citations, ahead of the formal announcement by the Nobel committee. Giving a list of six candidates, Clarivate said these were Citation Laureates – standouts whose research is clearly “of Nobel Class” according to its significance and utility, as attested by markedly high citation tallies recorded in the Web of Science, an IE report stated.

The economics prize will be announced in Stockholm on Monday.
