 EducationGuardian.co.uk | higher news | Obituary: Franco Modigliani
The Nobel prizewinner Franco Modigliani, who has died aged 85, was a brilliant example of an all too rare breed: he was an economist who could examine the real world, and then develop powerful theories to explain it.
Modigliani himself won the Nobel prize in 1985 for his analysis of how individuals spend and save over the course of their lifetimes, and for his seminal work that revolutionised modern theories of stock market valuation.
Modigliani and Brumberg's work proposed that consumption and saving were distributed across an individual's lifetime - the theory being that individuals start as net spenders in their youth, then build up a stock of wealth during their peak earning years to be saved for use in retirement.
