*** Bitte für die deutsche Version nach unten scrollen.*** Dear colleagues, The next ‘WU matters. WU talks.’ event will be held on Wednesday, December 16, 2020, 6:00pm. This event is being organized by the WU Department of Economics. The Nobel Prize in layperson’s terms The research behind the 2020 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences Nobel Prizes are awarded every year in December, on the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death. Nobel laureates are celebrated in the media, but hardly anyone knows anything about the research that goes on behind the scenes. We plan to change that. In cooperation with experts, we will be introducing the work of the winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in terms that even laypeople can understand. We will analyze the innovative power of the work and discuss its significance and potential applications in practice.
