Nobel Prize speculations

Tyler Cowen states he would give it for rent-seeking.  I would be thrilled if they did, but every October I start hoping against hope that it will go for entrepreneurship and to Israel Kirzner and Bill Baumol.

Neither Tyler nor I are predicting those choices, just wishing for those choices.

Give it for rent-seeking to whom? Gordon Tullock?

[Pearl]

Anne Krueger, I guess.

My pick? Philip Mirowski.

[Ludwig van den Hauwe]

Mirowski is too much of a philosopher and a historian, not enough economist. What exactly did he invent as an economist in your opinion?

[Pearl]

Mirowski won't receive the prize. I think Eugene Fama is a good shot as well. If they want to give the price to some woman for once, Anne Krueger has definately chances, even if it is ridiculous in my opinion.
