Bet on the next Nobel Prize winner
Published by Yazad Jal September 27th, 2004 in EconomicsIt’s not just cricket! You can also bet on who will win the next Nobel prize in Economics. (Or the other Nobels.)
Marginal Revolution has some market information on the contenders.
Last year I’d posted thrice on the topic:
Tilting at Nobel windmills
Nobel Prize in Social Sciences?
More Econ Nobel
I much prefer Madsen Pirie’s prediction:
The Nobel Prize in Economics is awarded to ‘the world’s consumers’ on the grounds that they do more for economics than any academic
As the Nobelpreisbörse allows me to suggest a candidate, I have entered “The World’s Consumers” as my choice. Let’s see if they put it up for contention.
Israel M. Kirzner should win the Nobel Prize for Economics some day..
The Nobel Prize for Economics should be awarded some time to Israel M. Kirzner as te most important representative of the neoaustrian school of economics alive, and as the one that has done the most in-depth research about the concept of Entrepreneurship and its role and implications in the market.
