The 2022 Nobel Prize in Economics has been awarded to Ben Bernanke, Douglas Diamond, and Philip Dybvig. Bernanke is a fellow at the Brookings Institution and is a former Fed chair, Diamond is a professor of the University of Chicago (because of course they get in on it), and Dybvig is at Washington University

OP, you're allowed to stick around ONTD without Nobel Prize winners!

And to think Ben Bernake's first job was at South of the Border. If you've ever driven I-95 between DC and Florida you know the place.

In SC, right? Used to see signs when I went to see my godmom near Myrtle Beach in the 80s. Went a few times. We were coming from Georgia.

Indeed, it's on the border of NC/SC in Dillon, SC. There is also a Bucees nearby in Florence now.

I'm surprised it's still there, honestly. I miss Stuckeys. Not huge but I knew those blue roofs.

University of Chicago (because of course they get in on it)

My econ prof in college used to say that if you don't have a Nobel in that department you have to make the coffee.

Diamond is a professor of the University of Chicago

the nobel prize is a joke, as usual

I always felt economics don’t deserve a Nobel prize category. No I don’t want to elaborate
