Nobel Laureate Elinor Ostrom was the first, and to date, the only woman to win the prize in economics, which has been awarded since 1969; Ostrom won in 2009. She was known for her analysis of economic governance, especially the commons, and for developing -- along with her olleagues at the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at Indiana University -- the Institutional Analysis and Development framework, which enables them to analyze diversely structured markets, hierarchies, common-property regimes and local public economies using a common set of universal components. Dr. Ostrom passed away from pancreatic cancer June 12, 2012.
