Picture with a NOBEL WINNER

LEO HURWICZ has won Economic Nobel Prize in 2007 at the age of 90!!! (Shared with Myerson and Maskin, they were awarded for the laying the foundations of mechanism design.). Officially, he becomes the the oldest person to receive a Nobel for any category.


And I just realized that I have TA'd for a Nobel Laureate!! Pretty Cool.

This picture was taken a few year ago during a reception, around the time Ed. Prescott got his Nobel. Christos and I went to ask him to take a picture with us, as humble as he is, he asked us:"why do you want to take a picture with an old man?" We said:"Because you are Leo Hurwicz!!" And he smiled and said:"I will only do it if you would also send a copy of the picture to me."
