Vernon Smith reminisces at the University of Arizona
Vernon Smith, who won the 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics (split with Daniel Kahneman) for his contributions to experimental economics, gave a public lecture this afternoon at the University of Arizona on the history of his work .
Smith was a member of the University of Arizona faculty from 1976 to 2001, and there conducted most of the work that later won him the Nobel Prize, before leaving to join the libertarian powerhouse at George Mason University as distinguished senior faculty.
His work is of particular interest to libertarians, who advocate privatization, the breakup of government-mandated monopolies, and implementation of market mechanisms to replace command-and-control regulation.
