Krugman won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2008 for his groundbreaking work on international trade and economic geography.

He is the author or editor of 20 books and more than 200 articles in journals and books. His most recent book is “Arguing with Zombies: Economics, Politics and the Fight for a Better Future,” mainly based on his New York Times column. In this book, Krugman explores the complexities of a variety of political issues.
He is recognized worldwide as a leader in the fields of economic geography and the role of increasing returns in shaping international trade. He is Distinguished Professor of Economics at the City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate Center, a core faculty member at the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality, and Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) Senior Scholar.
