U.Chicago wins the Nobel...again!

Roger Myerson has won the Nobel prize this year along with 2 others from the USA. For the details, which are obviously inexplicable here, you can jump onto the links from Amit Varma.

Maybe such intimidating intellectual horsepower is the reason why some of the stuff in Micro-econ goes swooshing right over my head to this pesky woman behind me, who delights in asking 2 minute questions to Bob Topel, one of my favorite professors - with analogies of a pizza and beer economy and marginal utility trade-offs between sex & rock n'roll, who else!

Next year, the Nobel's going to be Eugene Fama... and guess where he teaches.

(I know...totally undeserved arrogance from someone who doesn't fully understand supply/demand curves...yet!)
