About Anne Osborn Krueger
Anne Osborn Krueger (; born February 12, 1934) is an American economist. She was the World Bank Chief Economist from 1982 to 1986, and the first deputy managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) from 2001 to 2006. She is currently the senior research professor of international economics at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, D.C. She also is a senior fellow of Center for International Development (also was the founding Director) and the Herald L. and Caroline Ritch Emeritus Professor of Sciences and Humanities' Economics Department at Stanford University. == Early life == Krueger was born on February 12, 1934, in Endicott, New York. She was one of eight siblings born to Australian parents who had moved to the United States; her father was a physician. Her uncles included Australian government minister Sir Reginald Wright and physiologist Sir Douglas Wright. Krueger initially planned to pursue pre-law and attend law school, but during her undergraduate years she came to the crucial realization that “one had to understand economics in order to understand law and politics”. This very insight prompted her to declare economics as her major in her senior year. She received her undergraduate degree from Oberlin College in 1953. She received her Masters and Ph.D. in economics from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1956 and 1958 respectively.
