2001 Economics Nobel Prize goes to work on the effect of asymmetric information on markets
Joseph Stiglitz, one of the recipients of the Bank of Sweden’s Nobel Prize in Economics for 2001, was my graduate advisor’s graduate advisor. This year the award went to Stiglitz, Akerlof, and Spence for their work on how markets are affected when what I know isn’t what you know. That’s asymmetric information.
