Pinelopi Koujianou Goldberg Awarded 2025 Jean-Jacques Laffont Prize
The EGC affiliate was awarded the prize for her work on policy-relevant questions in trade and development.
Pinelopi Koujianou Goldberg, the William Nordhaus Professor of Economics and Global Affairs, has been awarded the 2025 Jean-Jacques Laffont Award by the Toulouse School of Economics. Since 2005, the award has been awarded annually to an economist whose research, in the legacy of Professor Jean-Jacques Laffont, combines robust theory with empirical application in the economic world.
“I am incredibly honored to receive such a prestigious award, I was certainly not expecting it. It means a lot to me as Jean-Jacques Laffont is someone who I have always admired. In many ways, his research embodies the qualities I have strived to achieve in my own work, namely addressing important questions with analytical rigor, combining theory with empirics." - Pinelopi Koujianou Goldberg
Professor Goldberg delivered a lecture to the TSE community on October 30, 2025, entitled “Global trade and economic development”, followed by the official awards ceremony at the Toulouse City Hall.
