Are you Robert?

On November 27, 1895, Alfred Nobel signed his last will and left much of his wealth to the establishment of the Nobel Prize. Since 1901, the Nobel Prize has been honoring men and women from all over the world for their outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and for work in peace.

In 1968, Sveriges Riksbank (the central bank of Sweden) introduced "The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel". Although, the Prize in Economics was not included in Nobel’s original list, this award is given according to the same principles as for the Nobel Prizes.

This website gives a comprehensive list on all laureates in Economics. It also has a fascinating collection of the articles and video interviews of these laureates. Some of these laureates are familiar to most AL students, for examples, Ronald H. Coase, Milton Friedman, John R. Hicks, Geogre J. Stigler and Gary S. Becker. Their theories or viewpoints are not comprehensible as these theories are part of HKAL syllabus. For others like, Paul Krugman and Joseph E. Stiglitz, they are the authors of the best selling books. For more details, please refer to my articles 017. Are we missing something? 015. The conscience of an economist and 013. Why do you study economics?

Just an interesting finding: there are seven Roberts among laureates in Economics!
