Covid has really hurt the annual Nobel Prize gossip in economics circles. Here's my guess: Claudia Goldin and Tom Sowell.
The last several decades have been amazingly productive in economics. There are dozens of economists who have made Nobel-worthy contributions, and the committee has a hard job sorting through just who should get it and when.
Among these, who has superb, scholarly, innovative, economic research, on issues that everyone cares about at the moment, as well as on other issues, and happens to embody some of the diversity I think everyone recognizes is missing in our profession? Claudia Goldin and Tom Sowell.
Sure, their research comes up with uncomfortable answers. That's what good research should do.
I will surely be wrong. I have yet to predict a Nobel!
