Press Conference
October 12, 2009

Williamson, the Edgar F. Kaiser Professor Emeritus of Business, Economics and Law at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business and a professor of economics in the College of Letters and Science, shares the 2009 prize with Elinor Ostrom, a professor of political science and of public and environmental affairs at Indiana University in Bloomington.

Williamson was honored "for his analysis of economic governance, especially the boundaries of the firm." Ostrom, the first woman to win an economics Nobel, was cited "for her analysis of economic governance, especially the commons."

  • Nice talk. Very Nice. Full packed.

  • technically....... i don't know....

  • Technically, there is no "Nobel Prize in Economics". The economics prize is awarded by the bank of Sweden, in memory of Alfred Nobel. It is commonly confused with one of the genuine Nobel prizes, and is not awarded by a Nobel committee.

  • excellent work!

  • i cant understand what he's saying!

  • Sounds to me like you are telling the Nobel Committee how to do their job.

  • The Nobel Prize in Economics goes to research-driven work, not policy-driven work. Schiff has not done any groundbreaking research.

  • Today I just saw the Oliver's signature on over page of a dissertation 1996 of his student, Brian Siliverman. Today is my day of Oliver Williamson!

    His markets and hierarchies surprised me during my PhD program from 1995-2002 at Montreal McGill (Mintzberg, 3M school) Management!
