        @ VetLegion and TCO:

        Here is a nifty little something I found online that demonstrates trade diversion and how it can cause a net loss in welfare.

            Some of his stuff is good. Other stuff not as good. "Idiot" too strong. But am spoiling for confrontation...

                  Only if you don't count the 1976 award for his achievements in the fields of consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and for his demonstration of the complexity of stabilization policy

                    Nobel prizes are nothing but a joke these days, anyway.

                      LordShiva, Colon, thanks for the trade diversion links. I'll check them out and let you know what I think.

                        Some people find it suspicious that Chichago School has got so many Bank of Sweden prizes:
                        A liberal essay exposing the right-wing bias of the selection committee for the Nobel prize in economics.

                        As Lindbeck's politics have marched to the right, so has the selection of prize winners. In its early days, leftist economists like Paul Samuelson and Gunnar Myrdal could occasionally win the prize. But between 1990 and 1995, the Nobel has gone to someone from the University of Chicago five out of six times.

                        What is the relationship between Lindbeck and the University of Chicago? By all accounts, it is a cozy one. This alone does not prove impropriety, of course, but when an award is as distinguished as the Nobel prize, even the appearance of impropriety should be avoided. Lindbeck not only ignores this rule, but flouts it openly.

                          What sillyness, when people like Amartya Sen have won Nobel Prizes in Economics in the last 10 years to say it has taken a rightward shift is quite silly. In addition since 1995, no UofChicago economist has won the Nobel Prize, unless you consider Prescott, who was a visiting prof for a year in the 70s to be a UoC guy.

                          I think that article may be trying to create controversy where there is none... and nice sample size, five out of six times between 1990 and 1995! In addition, the Chicago School of Economics shouldn't be equated with the entire University of Chicago School of Economics. It is merely part of it.

                          Finally, even his opponents acknowledge the importance of his economic discoveries in refining the consumption function and monetary policy.
                          “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
                          - John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

                            Kitty knows that MF got a Nobel in econ. He thinks the econ prize is not a "true Nobel". It is awarded by a different group and came into being later then the others.

                              Actually I don't even know if he really cares about "real Nobels" or is just getting a rise by being a stuck up physicist.
