Lars Peter Hansen
Recipient, 2006 Erwin Plein Nemmers Prize in
Economics
Lars Peter Hansen is the Homer J. Livingston Distinguished Service
Professor at the University of Chicago. The selection committee for
the economics prize recognized 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,” said
Robert Porter, professor and chair of economics at Northwestern.
“He also has made important contributions in modeling optimal
policy under uncertainty.”
In essence, Hansen has studied dynamic properties of financial
markets and how they reflect the uncertainties of the macroeconomic
environment by developing and applying rigorous statistical
methods.
Among Hansen’s honors, he is the recipient of the Frisch Prize,
awarded every other year for the best empirical paper in the
journal “Econometrica.” He holds fellowships at the Econometric
Society, American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National
Academy of Sciences, and he was a fellow at the John Simon
Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.
Hansen also is a former co-editor of “Econometrica” and of the
“Journal of Political Economy.” He is the author or co-author of
numerous articles and books including “Robust Control and Economic
Model Uncertainty” with Thomas J. Sargent, which is in press.

Ariel Rubinstein
Recipient, 2004 Erwin Plein Nemmers Prize in
Economics
Ariel Rubinstein is professor of economics at Tel Aviv University,
Israel, and New York University.
The Selection Committee for the economics prize recognized
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, with well over 700 citations. He was
among the first to develop a compelling game theoretic model of
non-cooperative bargaining with a unique solution to the bargaining
problem.
Widely recognized as one of the most important and creative
economic theorists of our day, he has worked on several of the most
important problems in economic theory and led the development of
literatures in several areas of research. Rubinstein’s seminal
contributions to economics -- especially in bargaining, a basic
economic activity -- have opened up new avenues of research and new
ways of thinking.
Rubinstein began his academic career as an economics faculty member
of The Hebrew University. He then joined the department of
economics at Tel Aviv University where he serves as professor and
holds the Salzberg Chair.
He is an overseas member of the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences, fellow and current president of the Econometric Society,
and fellow of the Israeli Academy of Sciences. He is a recipient of
the Michael Bruno Memorial Award (2000) and the Pras Israel (2002).
He has held editorial positions on such leading journals as
Econometrica, the
Journal of Economic Theory, the
Review of Economic Studies, and
Games and Economic
Behavior.
Rubinstein delivered the Walras-Bowley Lecture at The Econometric
Society meeting (1988); the Churchill Lecture (Cambridge
University, 1996); the Zeuthen Lecture (Copenhagen, 1996); the
Pareto Lecture (Alicante, 1996); the Schwartz Lecture (Northwestern
University, 1998); the Schumpeter Lecture (European Economic
Association, Bolzano, 2000); and the Woodward Lecture (University
of British Columbia, Vancouver, 2003).
Rubinstein received degrees in economics and mathematics —
bachelor’s, master’s and a doctorate — from The Hebrew
University.

Edward C. Prescott
Recipient, 2002 Erwin Plein Nemmers Prize in Economics
Edward C. Prescott, Regents Professor at the
University of Minnesota and senior economic advisor to the Federal
Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, is widely regarded as one of the
intellectual leaders of the rational expectations movement within
modern macroeconomics. His work has greatly influenced the field of
economics, as well as other areas of study, such as industrial
organization, finance, general equilibrium theory and
econometrics.
Prescott's work has focused on business
cycles and economic fluctuations. He has demonstrated that standard
growth behavior historically studied by microeconomists also can
explain business cycle fluctuations that macroeconomists have
sought to understand. 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.
Prescott's work has also considered the
importance of an organization's ability and willingness to commit
to specific policies over the long term. Prescott argues that
people put their trust in organizations-including government and
corporations-because they believe those organizations will deliver
on their commitments. Failure to follow through on commitments
would make people unwilling to invest in those organizations in the
future. This line of reasoning has been considered crucial in the
development of central banks that can act independently and
maintain credibility in the marketplace.
Prescott received his bachelor's degree in
mathematics from Swarthmore College in 1962, his master's degree in
operations research from Case-Western University in 1963, and his
Ph.D. in economics from Carnegie-Mellon University in
1967.
He has held teaching positions at the
University of Chicago, Carnegie-Mellon University, and the
University of Pennsylvania. During 1979-82, he served on the
faculties of Northwestern's Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences
and Kellogg School of Management.
Prescott is a co-editor of Economic Theory
and a research associate for the National Bureau of Economic
Research. He is a former president of the Society of Economic
Dynamics and Control and Society for the Advancement of Economic
Theory and a former associate editor of the Journal of Economic
Theory, International Economic Review and the Journal of
Econometrics.
He has authored more than 70 principal
articles, addressing topics like business cycles, economic
development, general equilibrium theory, banking and finance and
economic policy. He is a fellow of the Econometric Society and a
fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Science.

Daniel L. McFadden
Recipient, 2000 Erwin Plein Nemmers Prize in Economics
Daniel L. McFadden is the E. Morris Cox
Professor of Economics at the University of
California-Berkeley.
McFadden has made pioneering contributions in
econometrics and has been highly influential in theoretical and
applied economics. His 1973 article 'Conditional Logit Analysis of
Qualitative Choice Behavior' is recognized as one of the most
important milestones in the development of microeconometrics, the
field that deals with the analysis of economic data using models of
consumer and firm behavior. Through this and many subsequent
articles and books, McFadden founded modern econometric research on
the analysis of discrete choice. 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.
Among his other major methodological
innovations, McFadden has proposed novel estimation methods that
use simulation techniques to approximate the values of functions
that are otherwise too difficult to calculate. Early in his career,
he performed important research on the theoretical and econometric
analysis of production decisions by firms. McFadden has, throughout
his career, complemented his method
