Zoo Station

Every year, when it is time for the Nobel Prizes to be announced, this blog bravely marches forth and predicts that this is the year for Jagdish Bhagwati. It's been a false alarm 3 years on the trot, but that should not stop us from going ahead and predicting who will win the Nobel in Economics (or the Bank of Sweden prize for the nitpickers) later this evening. Our guess? Why, Jagdish Bhagwati, of course (perhaps in combination with Avinash Dixit and Paul Krugman)!! Second favourites could potentially be Oliver Hart, Paul Milgrom and maybe Robert Barro. And if none of them win, be sure to tune into Zoo Station next year at the same time for our next round of fearless predictions.
