Lives of the Laureates: Thirty-Two Nobel Economists

Autobiographical accounts by Nobel laureates reflect the richness and diversity of contemporary economic thought and offer insights into the creative process; with six new laureates.Lives of the Laureates offers readers an informal history of modern economic thought as told through autobiographical essays by thirty-two Nobel Prize laureates in economics. The essays not only provide unique insights into major economic ideas of our time but also shed light on the processes of intellectual discovery and creativity. The accounts are accessible and engaging, achieving clarity without sacrificing inherently difficult content.

This seventh edition adds six Nobelists to its pages: Roger B. Myerson describes his evolution as a game theorist and his application of game theory to issues that ranged from electoral systems to perverse incentives; Thomas J. Sargent , recounts the development of the rational expectations model, which fundamentally changed the policy implications for macroeconomic models; Amartya Sen reflects on his use of a bicycle to collect data early in his career; A. Michael Spence describes, among other things, his whiplash-inducing first foray into teaching an undergraduate class; Christopher A. Sims discusses his "non-Nobel" research; and Alvin E. Roth chronicles the "three insurrections" he has witnessed in mainstream economics.

Lives of the Laureates grows out of a continuing lecture series at Trinity University in San Antonio, which invites Nobelists from American universities to describe their evolution as economists in personal as well as technical terms.
