Vernon lomax smith biography

BIBLIOGRAPHY

American economist Vernon Lomax Smith was born in Wichita, Kansas, on January 1, In Smith became the co-laureate of the Nobel Prize in Economics for having established laboratory experiments as a tool in empirical economic analysis, especially in the study of alternative market mechanisms (Nobel Foundation ). In awarding Smith the prize, the Nobel committee recognized the well-known observation that Smith is the father of the discipline of experimental economics.

Smith&#x;s official Nobel autobiography (Nobel Foundation ) provides a moving description of life in the Depressionera Kansas of railroads, farming, oil drilling, and relatives who die too young. This was also a world in which a graduate of a one-room schoolhouse who became a distracted C student in high school could gain admission to one of the world&#x;s finest universities, the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), by passing the rigorous admission exam.
