TheIZA Prize in Labor Economics 2006was awarded to the outstanding American labor economistsDavid Card(University of California, Berkeley) andAlan B. Krueger(Princeton University). According to theIZA Prize Committee, their work has crucially shaped the research agenda in labor economics and has raised the standards for empirical research in applied economics. "David Card and Alan Krueger have stimulated labor economics for many years with their original research approaches, the practical relevance of their results, and their remarkable use of natural experiments to test common hypotheses," said IZA Director Klaus F. Zimmermann during the announcement of the IZA Prize Committee decision in Bonn. "The findings by Card and Krueger are highly relevant for labor market policy in Germany, particularly with regard to raising school quality." |
