Bernanke’s contribution: That Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said Ben Bernanke analyzed the Great Depression of the 1930s, the worst economic crisis in modern history. “Among other things, he showed how bank runs were a decisive factor in the fact that the crisis became so deep and protracted. When the banks collapsed, valuable information about borrowers was lost and could not be quickly recovered.”
