and furthers our understanding of economic behavior.
2014 NEMMERS PRIZE IN ECONOMICS RECIPIENT
Jean Tirole
Foundation Jean-Jacques Laffont/Toulouse School of Economics and Institute for Industrial Economics, University of Toulouse Capitole
For various contributions to economic theory and its application to finance, industrial organization and behavioral economics

influential in the theoretical and practical application of game
theory and information theory to industrial organization and
regulation. His research interests also include finance,
macroeconomics, international finance, economics and psychology.
2012 NEMMERS PRIZE IN ECONOMICS RECIPIENT
Daron Acemoglu
For fundamental contributions to the understanding of political institutions, technical change and economic growth
Acemoglu is an extremely productive economist whose work is
motivated by real-world questions that arise when facts are
difficult to reconcile with existing theory. His research covers a
wide range of areas within economics, including political economy,
economic development and growth, human capital theory, growth
theory, innovation, search theory and network economics and
learning. His work has propelled him to the frontier of each of the
variety of fields he has explored and he has been especially
innovative in his most recent area of study dealing with the role
of institutions in the political and economic development of
nations.
2010 NEMMERS PRIZE IN ECONOMICS RECIPIENT
Elhanan Helpman
For fundamental contributions to the understanding of modern international economics and the effects of political institutions on trade policy and economic growth
Helpman is highly cited for his scholarship on international trade,
economic growth and the political economy of trade policy. He has
done research on how the interaction of lobbying groups and
politics shape trade policy and on relationships between
international trade and the organizations of
firms.
2008 NEMMERS PRIZE IN ECONOMICS RECIPIENT
Paul R. Milgrom
For contributions dramatically expanding the understanding of the role of information and incentives in a variety of settings, including auctions, the theory of the firm, and oligopolistic markets
Milgrom's path-breaking work has developed and popularized new
tools for the analysis of asymmetric information and strategic
interaction and, most significantly, has shown the usefulness of
those tools for the analysis of applied
problems.
2006 NEMMERS PRIZE IN ECONOMICS RECIPIENT
Lars Peter Hansen
For rigorously relating economic theory to observed macroeconomic and asset market behavior and for innovations in modeling optimal policy under uncertainty
Widely recognized as one of the most important empirical economists
of our day, Hansen's studies of macroeconomic and asset market
behavior are notable for their methodological innovations,
combining economic theory and frontier econometric methods. He also
has made important contributions in modeling optimal policy under
uncertainty.
2004 NEMMERS PRIZE IN ECONOMICS RECIPIENT
Ariel Rubinstein
For a broad series of highly original contributions to game theory in economics, ranging from analyses of bargaining and repeated games to models of bounded rationality
Rubinstein's work on non-cooperative bargaining has been
extraordinarily influential. Recognized as one of the most
important and creative economic theorists of our day, he was among
the first to develop a compelling game theoretic model of
non-cooperative bargaining with a unique solution to the bargaining
problem.
2002 NEMMERS PRIZE IN ECONOMICS RECIPIENT
Edward C. Prescott
For work focused on business cycles and economic fluctuations that has greatly influenced the field of economics, as well as industrial organization, finance, general equilibrium theory, econometrics, and other areas of study
Prescott is widely regarded as one of the intellectual leaders of
the rational expectations movement within modern macroeconomics.
His theory that a substantial part of business cycles are simply
the best response of the economy to policy changes that affect the
economy's productivity is widely accepted in the field of
economics.
2000 NEMMERS PRIZE IN ECONOMICS RECIPIENT
Daniel L. McFadden
For pioneering contributions in econometrics and founding modern econometric research on the analysis of discrete choice
McFadden has been highly influential in theoretical and applied
economics, contributing important milestones in the development of
microeconometrics, the field that deals with the analysis of
economic data using models of consumer and firm behavior. The
models and methods that he developed have become standard tools
used to interpret the decisions made by consumers, firms and
governments in a wide variety of
contexts.
1998 NEMMERS PRIZE IN ECONOMICS RECIPIENT
Robert J. Aumann
For revolutionizing economics and other social sciences by expanding their analysis to issues of strategies, coalitions and information
Aumann's contributions include substantial discoveries about large
competitive markets and games with a continuum of players, the
development of the general model of coalitional games, the first
studies of dynamic strategic interaction with differential
information, founding the subject of interactive epistemology and
establishing the logical foundation of rational correlated
behavior.
1996 NEMMERS PRIZE IN ECONOMICS RECIPIENT
Thomas J. Sargent
For his work in both empirical and theoretical macroeconomics, and pioneering research analyzing how consumers and firms form expectations about future government policies
Sargent's work has been instrumental in developing empirical
versions of the theory of rational expectations. He applied the
theory of rational expectations to study the causes and cures of
hyperinflations, the correlation between unemployment and
inflations, the term structure of interest rates and the
interaction between monetary and fiscal
policies.
1994 NEMMERS PRIZE IN ECONOMICS RECIPIENT
Peter A. Diamond
For his analysis of the effects of the public debt on the behavior of the economy in the long run, his revolutionary study of sales and property taxes, and his pioneering of a novel way of thought regarding prosperity and recession
Diamond's path-breaking work has formed the basis for much of what
has been written in the past decade about the growth of the U.S.
public debt and showed governments how they could raise the
required amount of revenue while minimizing the harmful effects of
the taxes on the functioning of the economy.
