On Monday, the Nobel season wrapped up as usual with the announcement of the Economics Nobel Prize which is officially known as the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. This year's winners were Harvard's Alvin Roth and UCLA's Lloyd Sharpely. They were awarded for their research on making better match-ups among students and the schools they wish to attend, and between kidney donors and recipients among other things.
For me this year's awards were peculiar because the laureates aren't the well-known gurus of the subject. This reflects how many broad options the Nobel committee uses in searching for it's potential laureates. Congrats to all the winners for this year.
