Altruism economists tipped for Nobel Prize

Two economists who have written extensively on altruism are contenders for this year’s Nobel Economics prize, experts predict.

Sam Bowles and Herbert Ginter, specialists in altruistic co-operation, are among the front runners for the prize, according to David Pendlebury, head of research analysis at the Institute for Scientific information at Clarivate, which monitors potential science laureates.

Bowles and Ginter would be ‘an unusual but interesting choice for the Nobel Committee’, said Pendlebury.

‘Since the 60s they have explored a different kind of model of economic behaviour – one that valorises altruistic co-operation’.
