Haas Prof Wins Nobel
 Oliver E. Williamson, who holds joint appointments at the University of California Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, Department of Economics, and the UC Berkeley School of Law, has won the 2009 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. Williamson, the Edgar F. Kaiser Professor Emeritus of Business, Economics, and Law at the University of California, Berkeley, shared the prize with Elinor Ostrom, a professor of political science and public and environmental affairs at Indiana University, the first woman to win a Nobel in economics. Both were recognized for their analyses of economic governance.
Williamson, who earned his undergraduate degree at MIT, went on to earn an MBA at Stanford Graduate School of Business and a PhD at Carnegie Mellon University’s Graduate School of Industrial Administration, now the Tepper School of Business.
