When Yale economist Robert J. Shiller, of the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices, won the Nobel Prize in Economics Sciences (formally called The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2013) earlier this year, we checked to see how many papers in the Brookings Papers on Economic Activity he authored or co-authored. The answer is seven:
• What Have They Been Thinking? Homebuyer Behavior in Hot and Cold Markets, 2012 (with Karl Case [the “Case” in the index above] and Anne Thompson)
• Low Interest Rates and High Asset Prices: An Interpretation in Terms of Changing Popular Economic Models, 2007
• Is There a Bubble in the Housing Market?, 2003 (with Karl Case)
• Public Resistance to Indexation: A Puzzle, 1997
• Hunting for Homo Sovieticus: Situational versus Attitudinal Factors in Economic Behavior, 1992 (with Maxim Boycko and Vladimir Korobov)
• Stock Prices and Social Dynamics, 1984
• Forward Rates and Future Policy: Interpreting the Term Structure of Interest Rates, 1983 (with John Campbell and Kermit Schoenholtz)
