Fed Ex Chairman, two other economists win Nobel prize for research on banks and financial crisis

Ex-chairman of Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, and two other US-based economists, Douglas Diamond and Philip Dybvig have been awarded the Nobel prize in economic sciences for 2022 for their research on banks and financial crises.

Douglas and Philip are both professors at University of Chicago Booth School of Business and Olin Business School of Washington University in St. Louis respectively. Ben served the Fed between 2006 and 2014 as the chairman.

The Nobel committee said that their work in 1980 had significantly improved our understanding of the role of banks in the economy, particularly during financial crises and how to regulate banks. The committee also added that their work proved to be invaluable at the time of the financial crisis faced by the world during 2008-09 and Covid-19 pandemic.

The winners of the Sveriges Riksbank Prize, the official name of the category, in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, are entitled to receive 10 million Swedish Krona or US$ 883,000 in total. The amount will be split among the three.

Uttarkashi Tunnel Rescue – A Story of Human Value

Life begins in a closed chamber-like place called womb, but the one being nurtured and prepared to be brought into this world is not conscious of its existence or rather not aware of a world which is full of light. What about those who are trapped in a similar condition, but are fully aware of the world outside? Would it not be suffocating to live in a dark place with little hope to see the bright life they were used to just a few days ago? Uttarkashi tunnel that collapsed and trapped 41 workers is such a story, a reminder that how fortunate and privileged we are for all that the mother nature has given us.

Canada – safe haven for criminals & terrorists

When a country deliberately spoils its relations with another, it also turns a blind eye to wrongdoers taking advantage of the situation. Canada, under the leadership of PM Justin Trudeau, has been burning its bridges by constantly targeting India, when the entire world sees the latter as a peace-loving nation with great business opportunities. PM Trudeau has constantly made baseless remarks against India on different issues including wrong allegations stating Indian government’s involvement in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a pro-Khalistani. With increasing crime rate, Canada is slowly becoming a breeding ground for terrorist groups, gangs and local criminals. India released a long list of individuals, suspected to have links with gangs operating out of Canada, and also offered a dossier.
