  • The Full Value of the Nobel Prize - Part 1: Mining “Data Without Theory”
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive The Full Value of the Nobel Prize - Part 1: Mining “Data Without Theory” Amavilah, Voxi Heinrich REEPS, REEPS GCC 17 September 2011 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/33483/ MPRA Paper No. 33483, posted 18 Sep 2011 12:27 UTC (((((REEPS))))) Resource & Engineering Economics Publications Services The Knowledge Peddlers ______________________________________________________________________________ The Full Value of the Nobel Prize - Part 1: Mining “Data Without Theory” Voxi Heinrich Amavilah REEPS PO Box 38061 Phoenix, AZ 85069-8061 USA +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Abstract: This paper comes in two parts, this being the first. Part 1 is not a research paper in the sense of the Scientific Method; it is rather unsophisticated data mining - a cheap data mining exercise for that matter, because it does not follow any received economic, or other, theory. In the sense of Ed E. Leamer, it is “data without theory,” and data without theory does not speak for itself, despite the common cliché of “letting the data speak for itself.” The objective here is to adjust the money value of the Nobel Prize to include the values of the Nobel Prize medal and diploma. It is an arithmetic exercise that reveals that Alfred Nobel’s monetary contribution to humanity is huge. More importantly, the calculations generate data that make it possible to focus on the economic implications of Nobel’s bequest for human capital accumulation, technological progress, and long-run economic growth, which are subjects of a separate effort in Part 2. In this “paper” I indicate some basic relationships among and between key variables in Section 4, and remark in the last section that the Nobel Prize is a massive contribution, even without taking into account the time value of money.

  • George Stigler As a Dissertation Supervisor*
    Do Great Economists Make Great Teachers? – George Stigler as a Dissertation Supervisor* President Reagan fared much better than the student who came to George complaining that he didn’t deserve the “F” he’d received in George’s course. George agreed but explained that “F” was the lowest grade the administration allowed him to give (Friedland 1993:782). In the eleven years that George Stigler labored at Columbia University he had exactly one dissertation student 1. That number did not radically increase during his subsequent first eleven years at Chicago, though it did in fact at least double 2. Stigler was an economist of great ability, skill and influence, arguably one of the best economic minds of his age. (This is a rather remarkable statement given compeers like Friedman and Samuelson.) Though he clearly thought teaching to be a lesser activity, an adjunct to research, George Stigler took his teaching very seriously (as he did all activities associated with his professional life). His influence on his colleagues in particular and the profession in general is unmistakable. Friends and foes alike (there were few, if any, who knowing George Stigler didn’t fall into one or the other category) conceded his ability to persuade whether in written or verbal form. The puzzle then is why such a formidable figure who contributed so much to economics, wasn’t sought out more as a dissertation advisor by the many graduate students passing through the economics department in Chicago? The answer reveals not only something about George Stigler himself (which might then remain on the purely idiosyncratic level), but also about graduate education in economics and more specifically about student supervision.
