Nobel Prize update

Here is new information from the betting market. Ed Prescott has opened up a lead (then Barro, then Krugman), and Thomas Schelling has joined the list. Read my previous comments; the winner will be announced Monday.

As for tomorrow's literature prize, John Updike, Margaret Atwood, and Philip Roth are the leaders.

Update: Here is the dark horse who won the literature prize, I am not a big fan.

I'm not sure the market for predicting this year's Nobel prizes is working too well. This market allows you to buy and sell "shares" assigned to a person's name. If that person wins a prize, you share in the proceeds. [Read More]
