Nobel Prize-winning grad to present lecture
KU graduate and Nobel Prize winner Vernon L. Smith will present a public lecture April 27 in an event sponsored by the Center for Applied Economics at the KU School of Business.
Smith will discuss “World Issues and the Role of the Economist” at

Smith received the Nobel Prize in economics in October 2002, along with
Daniel Kahneman, a professor at Princeton. Smith received the award “for
having established laboratory experiments as a tool in empirical economic
analysis, especially in the study of alternative market mechanisms.”

from KU in 1952. After earning his master’s degree, he continued
to take classes at KU and was an instructor in the Department of Economics
for a year.
