really admired Aumann when I was in grad school. His paper on Common Knowledge
is one of the best econ paper I have ever read. | k***g
发帖数: 7244 | 2 I always thought he is a political scientist before I read today that he won
the nobel prize of economics.
He wrote a lot about war, nuclear deterance and proliferatoin, conflict and
bargaining, etc. His papers about nuclear deterance have a great impact on the
IR literature during the Cold War.... | c********y
发帖数: 98 | 3 You read Shelling and thought he was a political scientist?
I admire him more for his work on micromotives and macrobehavior, in which he
shows how small actions can lead to large consequences. Speaks well to the
complex system theory.
Aumann is an extremely interesting person. He says his research center has all
the rationality there is in Israel.

发帖数: 98 | 5 Well, we are all social scientists so nothing prevents an economist from
publshing in polisci journals, or a political scientist publshing in econ
journals (although the latter occurs much more rarely). But I'm sure Shelling
would regard himself as primarily an economist. Doug North also has articles
in political science journals, but does anyone regard him as a political
scientist? His influence in polisci is at least as great as that in econ. Or
take Mancur Olson. He's probably more influentia

发帖数: 7244 | 6 hhehe, i've never met him before so i am not sure how he would regard himself
-)
I just explain why i think he could be called polisci-ist. North and Olson
are different. Their impacts in polisci largely come from polisci-ists'
application of their works. Their contributions to polisci are more like those
of Williamson (for his organizational economics), Hotelling (for his spatial
model) or Samuelson (for his internatoinal political economy). All these guys
are not directly involved in polisci, |
