An interesting pairing for tomorrow’s prize would be Robert Shiller and Nassim Taleb. Wouldn’t that be entertaining? Could Taleb accept it? He has denigrated the prize in the past. But given the recent trend toward topical prizes, those two would be perfect for the committee. My next prediction would be Barro and Romer as a balancing against last year’s prize.
