Sen is credited worldwide for his invaluable contributions to research
on fundamental problems in economics and philosophy. His theoretical
and empirical work encompasses a range of issues, from famine and
poverty to social choice theory, decision theory, and the demands
of rationality and freedom. Sen is widely recognized for his ability
to join economics and philosophy, reflected in his work through
ethics and a sense of common humanity. In 1998, he won the Nobel
Prize in Economics for his work in "social choice theory,"
the philosophical and mathematical inquiry into links between individual
values and collective choice. |
