Professor Mazzucato was awarded the prize with economist and inequality specialist , who will feature as a听guest academic lecturer on IIPP's new undergraduate module running from 2019, Rethinking Capitalism.

Professor Mazzucato said: 鈥淚鈥檓 thrilled to receive the Leontief Prize, along with Branko Milanovic. My focus on producing innovation-led growth driven by societal missions, and Branko鈥檚 focus on ambitious public policies that can reduce inequality鈥攖ogether can be a platform for not only rethinking economics but also for achieving innovation-led inclusive growth.鈥�

Both the awardees spoke on the听theme of Globalization, Innovation & Inequality, and Professor Mazzucato gave a talk titled .

Neva Goodwin, Co-Director of Tufts University鈥檚 Global Development and Environment Institute, which makes the awards, said: 鈥淲hat have been insufficiently recognized, before the work of Mariana Mazzucato, is the critical role of governments in innovation and hence the role of the public sector in the process of wealth creation. As Mazzucato points out, taxpayers have been the real venture capitalists, funding not only upstream basic science, but also some of the riskiest investments downstream. Her work argues for concrete ways to make sure both the risks and the rewards are better shared to that smart growth is also more inclusive growth.鈥�

The Leontief Prize was founded in 2000 in memory of Nobel prize-winning economist Wassily Leontief. The Leontief Prize recognises economists whose work combines theoretical and empirical research to promote a more comprehensive understanding of social and environmental processes.
