Meet Robert Solow (Nobel Prize Winner 1987)

Robert Solow was a Brooklyn-born American economist known for his work on economic growth.

The model he conceived was called the Solow-Swan neo-classical growth model. He was famously quoted as saying: "You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics".

He taught statistics and econometrics (time series) at MIT. In doing so, his interests admirably shifted to macroeconomics. He is currently an Institute Professor (highest Professor title) at MIT.
