Luigi L. Pasinetti and Paul Davidson.

Robert Vienneau said...: I think the book Ian recommends is very good. Here are somewhat dated bibliographies for Paul Davidson and Luigi Pasinetti. I have not read Davidson's most recent book, but I have read Pasinetti's most recent one.; October 05, 2009 6:18 PM

Interesting you mention them.

Pasinetti has more chances of not winning it than Davidson. My hunch is that mainstream economists favour some sort of keynesian analysis as opposed to a sraffian one.

And my visits to some of the blogs say that the prize might go to economists (supposedly) working on 'environmental economics'.

If that happens, I wouldn't be surprised as it would be too politically correct and well within the mainstream arena.; October 07, 2009 5:51 AM
