2019 Nobel prize in economics

In-line referencing needs urgent attention.--Ipigott (talk) 10:50, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

She's the second woman to win this prize. So? Why do we even need to mention this fact? 31.52.160.6 (talk) 19:24, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the nobel prize be in the first paragraph? Newystats (talk) 05:21, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Duflo in Moscow, August 1991

Conclusive evidence

The claim in the Early Life and Education section that her paper "provided conclusive evidence" is problematic. Leaving aside the question of what is meant by "conclusive evidence", a single paper should not be the sole evidence for any firm conclusions. It is especially inappropriate for making a cause and effect claim about historical facts, no single factor (i.e. "more education") will necessarily lead to a certain outcome ("higher wages"). I suggest that the offending sentence be rewritten with a bit more humility. How about "provided solid evidence"?98.17.44.45 (talk) 07:51, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
