Facutly of Economics Marshall Lectures

The Faculty of Economics is very pleased to announce that this year's Marshall Lecturer will be 2010 Nobel Laureate Prof Peter Diamond from MIT.

The title of the lectures is "Time Matters"
A half hour question and answer period will follow the second lecture.

Prof Diamond received the award along with two co-winners, Dale T. Mortensen of Northwestern University and Christopher A. Pissarides of the London School of Economics.

"The Nobel Foundation cited the three scholars in part "for their analysis of markets with search frictions." Among many other avenues of research he has pursued in his career, Diamond helped develop studies from the late 1970s onward that examined the ways markets function over a period of time. This aspect of economic research — “search theory” — has been frequently applied to labor markets in the years since, in an attempt to see how the needs of individuals and employers are met."
