Shyam's Note : We all know that the Nobel Memorial prize for Economics has already been announced. Prof. Richard Thaler colleague of Dr. Rajan from the same University of Chicago, Booth School of Business has been awarded the Nobel Prize for economics for his work on Behavioral Economics. It is still a great pride that Dr. Rajan figured in the list of six probables for the award.
Dr. Raghuram Rajan among the 6 probable candidates for Nobel Prize for Economics for 2017.
Former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan features in the list of probables for this year's Nobel Prize in Economics, The Wall Street Journal has reported.
He is one of the six economists on the list of probable winners compiled by Clarivate Analytics, a company that does academic and scientific research and maintains a list of dozens of possible Nobel Prize winners based on research citations.
The entry to the list does not guarantee that Rajan is a front-runner but he is a probable who stands a chance to win.
Rajan, whose three year term as Reserve Bank Governor ended on September 4, 2016+ , is considered a candidate for his "contributions illuminating the dimensions of decisions in corporate finance", Clarivate said.
The Nobel Prize in Economics will be announced on Monday.
According to Clarivate Analytics, the list of possible Nobel Prize winners based on research citations include Colin Camerer of the California Institute of Technology and George Loewenstein of Carnegie Mellon University (for pioneering research in behavioural economics and in neuroeconomics); Robert Hall of Stanford University (for his analysis of worker productivity and studies of recessions and unemployment); and Michael Jensen of Harvard, Stewart Myers of MIT and Raghuram Rajan of the University of Chicago (for their contributions illuminating the dimensions of decisions in corporate finance).
