LITHUANIAN FOREIGN MINISTER CONGRATULATES NOBEL PRIZE LAUREATE IN ECONOMICS WITH LITHUANIAN ROOTS ROBERT SHILLER
On 17 October, the Lithuanian Minister of Foreign Affairs Linas Linkevičius congratulated Robert Shiller, a Lithuanian American, on receiving the 2013 Nobel Prize in economics and invited him to visit Lithuania.
“We are proud that to the world’s most important achievements contribute the children of emigrants from Lithuania thus inspiring Lithuanian people to strive for greater goals,” said L.Linkevičius.
The 2013 Nobel Prize in economics was awarded to three winners, including Robert Shiller. Robert Shiller, from Yale University, was included for his research of trends in economy, strengthening economic development opportunity.
R.Shiller is one out of many Lithuanian Americans, whose parents emigrated prior to the restoration of Lithuania’s independence in 1918. His grandfather, Ignas Szileris, arrived in the U.S. in 1908.
