Okay, but can you briefly state what Goldin won the Nobel Prize for? (Don't just rely on Ms Esty's summary, though her text around the graph might be helpful.) Ms Esty missed asking the question, and MM was too busy being snarky to call out the point properly.

I'll give you another hint: check out the second-to-last paragraph before "Illustrations" in the official announcement of the award: https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/economic-sciences/2023/press-release/
