Nobel Prize prediction
Thomson Reuters thinks that Armen Alchian and my thesis advisor, Harold Demsetz, have a chance at the economics Nobel this year.
That would be very cool.

VERY impressive! I've heard Dr. Walter Williams speak of Armen Alchian in glowing terms several times.

Good thing they're not just writers, because provincial rubes from the US don't have a chance at the Nobel Prize for literature.

Does having your advisor get a Nobel in any way influence the pecuniary value of your degree? And mine as a 2nd generation?
Just asking.
Would Demsetz and Alchian get it together, or one of them individually (like Buchanan and Tullock), and if so who gets the prize and who gets shunned?

In the "it-would-be-cool-if-my-thesis-advisor-were-a-Nobel-Laureate" category, I'm pulling for Oliver Williamson!
