One of the brightest up-and-coming young economists, this scholar made headlines when she published a paper that contradicted an earlier published paper that she had written based on her dissertation. The daughter of two economists, she was the subject of several research papers on account of her unusual bedtime behavior while a two-year old.Who is she and what topic caused her to write a paper contradicting her dissertation work? Also, what was her unusual bedtime behavior?

When Emily was two years old, her parents noticed that she would often talk to herself in her crib after they said good night and left her room.
