Imran Rasul Honored with Prestigious European Award
Pakistan's highly esteemed economist Imran Rasul, who stepped down from the government's Economic Advisory Council (EAC) after Atif Mian's removal, has been honored with the prestigious Yrjö Jahnsson Award in Economics 2019.
The award aims to recognize a 'European economist no older than 45 years old who has made a contribution in theoretical and applied research that is significant to economics in Europe.'
Rasul, a microeconomist from University College London and the Institute Fiscal Studies, has worked towards social relationships in economics, advanced through pioneering field experiments in the workplace and social networks, and has provided salient contributions to economics, especially to the fields of personnel economics and development.
Ever since Rasul was honored with the award, the famed economist has been receiving felicitations for the remarkable feat by colleagues and fellow economists including Atif Mian.
