Erwin Plein Nemmers Prize in Economics

The Erwin Plein Nemmers Prize in Economics is awarded biennially from Northwestern University. It was initially endowed along with a companion prize, the Frederic Esser Nemmers Prize in Mathematics. Both are part a $14 million donation from the Nemmers brothers, who envisioned creating an award that would be as prestigious as the Nobel prize. Seven out of the past 11 Nemmers economics prize winners have gone on to win a Nobel Prize : Peter Diamond, Thomas J. Sargent, Robert Aumann, Daniel McFadden, Edward C. Prescott, Lars Peter Hansen, and, most recently, Jean Tirole.[1] Those who already have won a Nobel Prize are ineligible to receive a Nemmers prize. The Nemmers prizes are given in recognition of major contributions to new knowledge or the development of significant new modes of analysis in the respective disciplines. Currently, the prize carries a $200,000 stipend, among the largest monetary awards in the United States for outstanding achievements in economics.

gollark: > why not include it? it seems like a reasonable inclusion.It would be complex and probably lead to endless bikeshedding.
gollark: You have to deal with trusting a server and maybe key distribution and stuff.
gollark: Fair, although they're somewhat more *complex* than "magic uninterceptable channel"l.
gollark: So only stuff like PotatOS ship strong crypto nowadays.
gollark: The other way would be some sort of hypercomplex crypto solution, but it would probably have its own problems and I think SquidDev said no to including that sort of thing in core CraftOS.
