This year's model

["Mathew B. Forstater" <Mathew.B.Forstater@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The folks on the Austrian list have been trying their hands at picking
winners for this year's Nobel *Memorial* Prize in Economics.  In fact some
are wagering some bigtime moolah.  Names mentioned so far include Sen,
Tullock and Olson, Alchian and Demsetz, Baumol, and Kornai.  Could a John K
Galbraith or an Albert O Hirschman ever win in this day and age?

We have already hit most of the latest fads- game theory, 'new' economic
history, 'new' institutional economics... but 'new' international
economics and 'new' endogenous growth theory still await
recognition...:(

What do pkt'ers say?
