Paul Milgrom - Nobel Prize Conversations


Listen Later

”Sometimes I make a mistake during the lecture, I'll make an argument that's not quite right and not even notice it, and a student will catch me. I just love it when students do that.” – Economic sciences laureate Paul Milgrom loves being a teacher. He also loves when his students correct him and ask him hard questions that he doesn't know the answer to. In this podcast episode the Nobel Prize's Adam Smith speaks to economist Milgrom about his own school years and what type of teacher he aspires to be.


Paul Milgrom shared the prize in economic sciences with his PhD advisor Robert Wilson for their research on auction theories.
