In this project, I use a dataset that includes information about every nobel prize laureate between 1901 (when the prize was first awarded) and 2016. This includes awards in physics, chemistry, literature, medicine, economics, and peace. From this data, I seek to dissect the demographics of this honored populace. Is there gender parity? Given that Malala Yousafzai recently won at the young age of 17, is this a sign of laureate ages skewing younger? How “westernized” is the award based on laureate nationalities? Finally, I add in another dataset that compiled publication records for chemistry prize winners to analyze the delay between publications and nominations.
