A container of laundry detergent reminds Guido Imbens of his research process. One of his most important works began with conversations with Joshua Angrist about econometrics and interesting questions in that field. Many of their conversations took place in offices and cafes, but because both lived in apartments without washing machines and dryers, they started coordinating their laundry days and spent many Saturday mornings discussing research in the local laundromat among the whirring washers and dryers. Not only were these discussions very enjoyable, they also cemented an enduring friendship and triggered the research that gave them the prize in economic sciences.
Guido Imbens donated the item to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2022. - Pristagare
