Robert M. Solow, who won a Nobel in economic science in 1987 for his theory that advances in technology, rather than increases in capital and labor, have been the primary drivers of economic growth in the United States, died on Thursday at his home in Lexington, Mass. He was 99.

Nobel Prize



"I estimate that if I had neglected the students, I could have written 25 percent more scientific papers. The choice was easy to make and I do not regret it."


Warmest congratulations to economist, professor and dedicated teacher Robert Solow on his 96th birthday.


Solow was awarded the 1987 Prize in Economic Sciences "for his contributions to the theory of economic growth."

Economist Robert Solow won a Nobel Prize for his research on technology, productivity, and growth. But his legacy as a mentor is equally remarkable: All told, he advised more than 70 PhD students, four of whom would win Nobels in economics themselves.



Sure, he won a Nobel for his research on technology, productivity, and growth. But his legacy as a mentor is equally remarkable.
