each year to leading theorists for innovative work in economics that addresses contemporary issues. Mazzucato has been awarded the 2018 prize alongside听Dr. Branko Milanovic, Visiting Presidential Professor at the Graduate Center City University of New York.听 The prize is awarded each year to two scholars and has previously gone to such famed economists as John Kenneth Galbraith听and nobel prize winner Amartya Sen.

According to Tufts University鈥檚 Global Development and Environment Institute (GDAE), which makes the awards, Professor Mazzucato听and Dr Milanovic, are being recognized for their 鈥減ath-breaking鈥� work in innovation and global income inequality.

GDAE co-director Neva Goodwin said: 鈥淭he topic of innovation receives a lot of attention these days. What has been insufficiently recognized, before the work of Mariana Mazzucato, is the critical role of governments in innovation.

鈥淎s Mazzucato points out, taxpayers have been the real venture capitalists, funding the riskiest investments in the knowledge economy. It is to be hoped that her work will result in a more equitable sharing of the recognition and the rewards for this important activity undertaken by government for the people.鈥�

The ceremony and lectures by the prizewinners on the theme 鈥淕lobalization, Innovation and Inequality鈥� will take place on April 17 next year at Tufts University.

GDAE launched the Leontief Prize in 2000 in memory of nobel prize-winning economist and GDAE advisory board member Wassily Leontief. The Leontief Prize recognises economists whose work, like that of GDAE and Leontief himself, combines theoretical and empirical research to promote a more comprehensive understanding of social and environmental processes.

Mariana has also been made a Fellow of the. New Fellows are drawn from academics, practitioners and policymakers across the social sciences. The award recognises the excellence and impact of her work through the use of social economics for public benefit.
