Nobel Laureate Thomas C. Schelling
Former University of Maryland economics professor Thomas C. Schelling was named the winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science yesterday along with Israeli economist Robert J. Aumann for their work in game theory, which essentially attempts to explain the choices that competitors make in situations that require strategic thinking. Mr. Schelling was the mentor of Marginal Revolution's Tyler Cowen, so don't miss Tyler's excellent overview of Professor Schelling's career and extraordinary contributions to economics, foreign policy and clear thinking. Tim Harford of the Financial Times also chimes in. Enjoy.
