Vernon L. Smith Wins Nobel Prize in Economics for Experimental Research
Vernon L. Smith, Kansas University alumnus and economist, was named a Nobel Prize winner for economics for his work in establishing experimental methods in economic analysis. Born in Wichita and educated at Caltech, Smith studied at KU before earning a PhD from Harvard in 1955. He has taught at multiple universities and founded the International Foundation for Research in Experimental Economics, planning to donate prize money. The Koch Foundation aided his move to George Mason University in 2001, and he has returned to KU for seminars and model development.
