2018: Joseph Altonji (Yale University)
Joseph G. Altonji (Yale University) received the 2018 IZA Prize in Labor Economics for his seminal contributions to the economic analysis of labor supply, family economics and discrimination.
According to the award statement, “Altonji’s contributions have shaped the understanding of how households decide on their labor supply under fluctuating business cycles and changing labor markets, whether the family is the relevant unit of economic decision making, and what the mechanisms behind labor market discrimination are. An overarching theme of his work is that even the most insightful and fundamental theoretical advances must be supported by rigorous empirical evidence.”
2016: Claudia Goldin (Harvard University)
Hilmar Schneider | Claudia Goldin | Daniel S. Hamermesh
Claudia Goldin, the Henry Lee Professor of Economics at Harvard University, for her career-long work on the economic history of women in education and the labor market.Claudia Goldin is the Henry Lee Professor of Economics at Harvard University and director of the NBER's Development of the American Economy program. Goldin is an economic historian and a labor economist. Her research has covered a wide array of topics, such as slavery, emancipation, the post-bellum south, women in the economy, the economic impact of war, immigration, New Deal policies, inequality, technological change, and education. Most of her research interprets the present through the lens of the past and explores the origins of current issues of concern. In the past several years her work has concerned the rise of mass education in the United States and its impact on economic growth and wage inequality. More recently she has focused her attention on college women's achievement of career and family.
2015: Jan Svejnar (Columbia University)
The 2015 IZA Prize in Labor Economics was awarded to Czech-born economist Jan Svejnar for his major contributions to comparative economics in general and the economics of transition in particular. He is the author and editor of a number of books and has published widely in academic, policy and practitioner-oriented journals in advanced and emerging market economies, including the American Economic Review, Econometrica, Economica, Economics of Transition, European Business Forum, European Economic Review, Journal of Comparative Economics, Journal of Development Economics, Journal of Economic Perspectives, Journal of Economic Theory, Journal of the European Economic Association, Industrial and Labor Relations Review, Journal of Labor Economics, Quarterly Journal of Economics, and Review of Economics and Statistics.
2014: Gary S. Fields (Cornell University)
Ira N. Gang | Gary S. Fields | Klaus F. Zimmermann
Cornell professor Gary S. Fields is the winner of the 2014 IZA Prize in Labor Economics for his outstanding contributions on the importance of efficient labor markets to fight poverty and foster economic development in low- and middle-income countries.
According to the award statement from the IZA Prize Committee, Fields pioneered economic thinking about labor markets in developing countries by focusing on indicators such as poverty, inequality and income mobility. Fields’ policy recommendations aim at increasing the level and security of wages for employees and self-employed by incentivizing investments in the private sector, growth and international trade, and by providing the necessary skills and business know-how to stimulate labor demand. In this respect, Fields also shows the shortcomings of previous development aid, which had not sufficiently targeted labor market needs.
2013: Daniel S. Hamermesh (University of Texas at Austin and Royal Holloway, University of London)

This year's IZA Prize in Labor Economics was awarded to the U.S. economists George J. Borjas (Harvard University) and Barry R. Chiswick (George Washington University). The prestigious award recognizes their fundamental contributions to the economic analysis of migration and integration. Borjas and Chiswick have pioneered the economic analysis of global migration and its impact on labor markets and social security systems. They have been the leading figures in the intense debate about earnings assimilation and the nature of migrant selectivity. Their research has made migration an important subdiscipline of economics with high policy relevance.
The award ceremony took place in Oslo, Norway, on August 25.
2010: Francine D. Blau (Cornell University)
Jan Svejnar | Francine D. Blau | Klaus F. Zimmermann
The IZA Prize in Labor Economics 2010 was awarded to U.S. economist Francine D. Blau (Cornell University). The prestigious award recognizes Blau's seminal contributions to the economic analysis of labor market inequality. She has written extensively on the role of women in the labor market and on gender differences in pay and many other aspects of economic life.

2009: Richard Easterlin (University of Southern California)
Richard Easterlin | Klaus F. Zimmermann
The 2009 IZA Prize in Labor Economics, endowed with 50,000 euros, was awarded to U.S. economist Richard A. Easterlin (University of Southern California). The prestigious award recognizes Easterlin's outstanding research on the analysis of subjective well-being and on the relationship between demographic developments and economic outcomes. In both fields, his work laid the foundations for broadening the scope of traditional economic analysis and thus contributed to advancing our understanding of behavior in a wide variety of economic settings such as education, labor supply decisions and the economics of the family.
2008: Richard Layard (London School of Economics) and Stephen Nickell (Nuffield College)
S. J. Nickell | K. F. Zimmermann | R. Layard
The IZA Prize Committee selected Richard Layard and Stephen J. Nickell to receive the 2008 IZA Prize in Labor Economics. The award honors their path-breaking work on the relationship between labor market institutions and unemployment. Their research provided a theoretical and empirical framework for the analysis of equilibrium unemployment and the impact of labor market institutions on economic performance. According to the award statement, the contributions of Layard and Nickell have illuminated the policy discourse in Europe and increased academics' understanding of the nature and causes of involuntary joblessness. Lord Richard Layard is Emeritus Professor of Economics at the London School of Economics (LSE) and a Labour life peer in the House of Lords. Stephen Nickell is Warden of Nuffield College, University of Oxford, and was previously a Professor of Economics at LSE and a member of the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee.
2007: Richard Freeman (Harvard University und London School of Economics)
Richard B. Freeman | Klaus Zumwinkel | Horst Köhler | Klaus F. Zimmermann
This 2007 IZA Prize in Labor Economics was awarded to the U.S. economist Richard B. Freeman (Harvard University and London School of Economics), who has made a number of fundamental contributions that have monumentally shaped modern labor economics. The renowned IZA Prize honors Freeman's groundbreaking work on the sustainability of the welfare state and the role of trade unions in the labor market. His highly innovative studies address policy-relevant issues that have important implications for labor market reforms in Germany.
His research interests include the job market for scientists and engineers; the growth and decline of unions; the effects of immigration and trade on inequality; restructuring European welfare states; international labor standards; Chinese labor markets; transitional economies; youth labor market problems; crime; self-organizing non-unions in the labor market; employee involvement programs; income distribution and equity in the marketplace; and the effects of the internet on labor markets, social behavior and the economy.
2006: David Card (University of California, Berkeley) and Alan B. Krueger (Princeton University)

The IZA Prize in Labor Economics 2006 was awarded to the outstanding American labor economists David Card (University of California, Berkeley) and Alan B. Krueger (Princeton University). According to the IZA 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."
2005: Dale Mortensen (Northwestern University) and Christopher Pissarides (London School of Economics)
On October 24, the IZA Prize in Labor Economics 2005 was awarded to Dale T. Mortensen (Northwestern University) and Christopher A. Pissarides (London School of Economics) in honor of their path-breaking contributions to the analysis of markets with search and matching frictions. Before an audience of some 250 invited guests at the Sony Center in Berlin, IZA Director Klaus F. Zimmermann and Monika Wulf-Mathies (Deutsche Post World Net) presented the award to Mortensen and Pissarides. Gerard Pfann (Maastricht University) gave the laudation speech for the prize-winners. The event, which was moderated by TV anchor Cherno Jobatey, included a speech by Federal Minister of Finance Hans Eichel, who also participated in the subsequent panel discussion.
The work by Mortensen and Pissarides is highly relevant for today's policymakers as it has led to a better understanding of unemployment and job flows. Their models, which are now widely used in labor economics and macroeconomics, have highly enriched research on unemployment as an equilibrium phenomenon, on labor market dynamics and cyclical adjustment. They show how the intensity with which workers search and the decision when to accept a job offer determine the distribution of unemployment durations.
2004: Edward Lazear (Stanford University)
Klaus F. Zimmermann | Klaus Zumwinkel | Edward Lazear | Uschi Backes-Gellner
Wolfgang Clement (Federal Minister of Economics and Labor) praised the laureate's contributions to practical labor market research and emphasized the prominent role of IZA in providing policy advice on labor market issues.
The laudation for Edward Lazear was held by Uschi Backes-Gellner (University of Zurich), who praised Lazear as a driving force behind personnel economics. Lazear himself stressed in his acceptance speech the strong influence of personnel economics on entrepreneurial practices and strategies.
In 2003, the IZA Prize in Labor Economics was awarded to Orley Ashenfelter (Princeton University).
Orley Ashenfelter is Joseph Douglas Green 1895 Professor of Economics at Princeton University. His areas of specialization include labor economics, econometrics, and law and economics. He is director of the Industrial Relations Section at Princeton University, and has been director of the Office of Evaluation of the U.S. Department of Labor, a Guggenheim fellow, and the Benjamin Meeker Visiting Professor at the University of Bristol. He edited the Handbook of Labor Economics and is currently editor of The American Economic Review and co-editor of the American Law and Economics Review. His current research includes the evaluation of the effect of schooling on earnings, the cross-country measurement of wage rates, and many other issues related to the economics of labor markets.
The winner of the 2002 IZA Prize in Labor Economics was Jacob Mincer (Columbia University).
Jacob Mincer, the Joseph L. Buttenwiser Professor of Economics and Social Relations, Emeritus, at Columbia University, died at his Manhattan home on Sunday, August 21. Mincer was 84. The cause was due to complications from Parkinson’s disease, according to his wife, Dr. Flora Kaplan Mincer.
During World War II, Mincer survived prison camps in Czechoslovakia and Germany as a teenager, to rise to become one of the world’s greatest pioneering economists of the 20th century. Although Mincer was never awarded a Nobel Prize, he was nominated numerous times by admiring colleagues. He was considered by many to be a father of modern labor economics.
As a leading member of a group of economists at Columbia and the University of Chicago, known as the Columbia-Chicago School of Economics, Mincer and Nobel Laureate Gary Becker helped to develop the empirical foundations of human capital theory, consequently revolutionizing the field of labor economics. Mincer’s ground-breaking work: “Schooling, Experience and Earnings,” published in 1974, continues to have profound impact on the field of labor economics.
In recognition of his lifetime achievements in economics, Mincer was awarded the first IZA (Institute for the Study of Labor, based in Bonn,Germany) Prize in Labor Economics. The $50,000 prize was presented to Mincer by more than 100 of his former students at a conference at Columbia University in 2002. In 2004 Mincer received a Career Achievement Award from the University of Chicago’s Society of Labor Economists; the annual award has subsequently become known as the Mincer Award.
