Elinor Ostrom – Nobel Laureate

Elinor Ostrom – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elinor Ostrom (born August 7, 1933) is an American political scientist. She was awarded the 2009 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, which she shared with Oliver E. Williamson, for “her analysis of economic governance, especially the commons”. She is the first woman to win the prize in this category

She’s been a major inspiration to me. For a few years (1997-2002 I think) I taught a course in Environmental Science called “Common Pool Resources” at UofT, and immediately saw the use of her ideas in terms of the internet… and I’m sure that many other people were thinking just that at the same time. And I was just about to buy her latest book… forgot the title, at the AoIR conference. Too heavy to fly home with, but will have to track it down. MIT press I think. FOund it: Understanding KNowledge as a Commons. COol beans.
