First woman Nobelist in economics today! Elinor Ostrom, a professor at Indiana University, is a political scientist (Nobel committee decided that perhaps honoring traditional economists wasn't the best idea this year) and got her PhD from UCLA. She was a co-recipient with Oliver E. Williamson, a Berkeley professor.
Update: Paul Krugman, last year's Econ Nobelist, explains why they got the award.
