Who are My Picks For the Nobel Prize in Economics

Posted on 09/28/2006 00:00 AM | Link | Post Comment
Now that the Vicodin has kicked in, I have some time to post a bit. If I'm feeling o.k., I should probably really be working on academic stuff, but this way I can see just how lucid I am before I go back to writing on the current academic project. After I'm done, l'll put it down for a bit, read my latest Terry Pritchett novel, and then come back to see if I made any sense (or at least, as much as I usually do).

In any even, speculation seems to be heating up for who will get the next Nobel Prize in economics. I'll cast my vote for Eugene Fama of the University of Chicago for his earlier work on market efficiency (and later work on size and market-book effects which seem to disprove it. If it's him, there's a good chance that his coauthor Kenneth French would share it with him.

A second choice would be The U of C's Richard Thaler for his work in advancing the field of behavioral economics. Since we read several of all three authors' papers I grad school, I'd be happy with any of them (but my favorite would be for Fama to get it).

After typinc this, I realize that the pain meds have slightly altered my fine muschle control - I keep hittin the wrong keys. Ah well - that's what spell check (and editing) are for.
