The Medal for the Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel

Citation Laureates: Economics
Thomson-ISI’s Picks to Win the 
Nobel Prize in Economics in 2003 (or after)




Eugene F. Fama  [see also] [see also]
Robert R. McCormick Distinguished Service Professor of Finance
Graduate School of Business
University of Chicago
Chicago, IL USA
and
Kenneth R. French [see also]
Carl E. and Catherine M. Heidt Professor of Finance
Tuck School of Business
Dartmouth College
Hanover, NH USA

"For their seminal contributions to understanding the relationship of stock returns and business fluctuations."

Comment: If the Nobel Committee wishes to recognize achievements in finance, Fama and French are logical choices, especially for their co-authored papers in the 1980s and early 1990s that examined whether stock returns could be predicted by using both macro- and microeconomic indicators, representing the economy as a whole and the business of individual firms, respectively.

Robert J. Barro  [see also] [see also]

Robert C. Waggoner Professor of Economics
Harvard University
Cambridge, MA USA
and
Senior Fellow of the Hoover Institution
Stanford, CA USA

"For his pioneering contributions in empirical macroeconomics, ranging over many fields, but especially for work in public debt in the 1970s."

Comment: Barro has been for two or three decades one of the most-cited economists in the ISI database, (as has Fama, above). He has written more than a dozen of high-impact papers, several dealing with the determinants of economic growth and with monetary policy.

"For their development of cointegration analysis, an essential technique of econometrics for time-series studies and forecasting."

Comment: Engle also developed the Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (ARCH) model, another seminal technique in econometric analyses, and this may well be mentioned in any Nobel citation as well. Other important contributors to aspects of cointegration analysis have been Peter C. B. Phillips of Yale University and Søren Johansen of Københavns Universitet, both of whom are similarly highly cited. Frankly, it’s a hard choice, if the Nobel committee wishes to recognize work in this area.
