It is nice that the Nobel Committee thinks that the decisions of individuals can help solve the non-existent problem of Global Warming.

I’m sure the White House is disappointed. After all, Obama should have won, for all of his economic accomplishments this year...

Didn’t they get the memo? It’s the Obama Prize for Economics.

The Nobel prizes are now an embarrassment. They should find another name for the science prizes. The science prizes at least mean something.

Are we now going to see a revival of Institutional Economics in order to make sute we don’t achieve energy independence through the obvious solution of producing the oil we refuse to get?

Williamson has deserved the prize for about fifteen years. He is a heavyweight who has made solid contributions to transaction cost economics. He may tend toward the left (I am not familiar with his politics), but his work has helped economists in all camps. Williamson is one of the best choices the Nobel Committee could have made. (No, I am not Oliver Williamson)
He is unlike Krugman, who is simply a hack, and Obama, who is an empty suit.
