Paul Krugman, a Nobel laureate who also writes a newspaper column, has made a habit of slamming the latest generation of models in macroeconomics for neglecting old fashioned Keynesian truths. Paul Romer, one of the originators of new growth theory, has accused some leading names, including the Nobel laureate Robert Lucas, of what he calls mathiness using math to obfuscate rather than clarify.

Nobel laureate James Watson opens TED2005 with the frank and funny story of how he and his research partner, Francis Crick, discovered the structure of DNA.

PARIS Once, as I picked up the Nobel laureate economist Amartya Sen at his hotel, the receptionist asked me if I was his driver. After hesitating, I nodded yes.

The President It gives me great pleasure this morning to extend a warm welcome to Mr. Mohamed ElBaradei, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Nobel laureate.

So I was not at all surprised by the speed and dimension of events in recent months. Indeed, only a few economists such as the 2001 Nobel economics laureate Joseph Stiglitz and the 2008 laureate Paul Krugman warned against fatal developments that were mounting in the now globalized economy.

For Europe, the best option is to support the mass movement calling for regime change led by Mohammed ElBaradei, the Nobel laureate and former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Given sufficient will, there could be ample room for compromise. As the Nobel laureate economist Paul Samuelson famously said, the reason we have two eyes is to keep one on supply and the other on demand.

In 1970, the Nobel laureate Milton Friedman one of my favorite economists wrote an influential article arguing that the only social responsibility of business is to increase its profits. On that point, I disagree with him.

True, great thinkers like John Maynard Keynes and the late Nobel laureate James Tobin floated various ideas for taxing financial transactions as a way to reduce economic volatility. (Tobin s tax applied specifically to foreign exchange trading.)

This is a fully coherent viewpoint, but naive in its unqualified confidence (for example, in the polemical writings of the Nobel laureate economist Paul Krugman). As a result, the anti austerian view masks strong assumptions and risks.

LONDON In 2011, the Nobel laureate economist Paul Krugman characterized conservative discourse on budget deficits in terms of bond vigilantes and the confidence fairy. Unless governments cut their deficits, the bond vigilantes will put the screws to them by forcing up interest rates.

CAMBRIDGE The Nobel laureate economist Paul Krugman once quipped that Canada is essentially closer to the United States than it is to itself. After all, most of its citizens live in a narrow band along the more than 3,000 mile long border.

A century ago, the German Nobel laureate Paul Ehrlich introduced the concept of magic bullets compounds engineered to target and kill tumor cells or disease causing organisms without affecting normal cells. The success of antibiotics 50 years later seemed to validate Ehrlich s idea.

CAMBRIDGE Two and a half years ago, senior staff members of the World Bank approached the Nobel laureate Michael Spence to ask him to lead a high powered commission on economic growth. The question at hand could not have been more important.

Faced with the biggest test in its history, the euro is far from steering into disaster, as the Nobel laureate economist Milton Friedman predicted ten years ago. On the contrary, Europe s Economic and Monetary Union is proving a major asset in these tumultuous times.

The Nobel laureate economist Paul Krugman has poured scorn on what he calls the confidence fairy, the claim that fiscal policy must command the support of the bond markets. But to show that actual policy made things worse does not mean that a better policy was actually available.
