2024 Award Recipient: Adriana CALCAGNO
Adriana Calcagno is currently a CNRS postdoctoral researcher in the ERC-funded project “Energy Transitions in the History of Economic Thought”, led by Antoine Missemer, at the Centre International de Recherche sur l’Environnement et le Développement (CIRED). She works on the history of energy economics in 19th-century Spain, 20th-century Brazil, and 20th-century Chile. Specifically, she links the issues of energy transition and energy sovereignty to those of economic development.
She defended her thesis in 2021. It was carried out jointly in the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and the University of Geneva. Her thesis focused on the emergence of the structuralist theory of development in Latin America in the mid-20th century, focusing on Raúl Prebisch and the Economic Commission for Latin America.
Article: “How industrialization became the core of Raul Prebisch’s thought”, Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 45:4 (2023), 625-646.
