	NSF hosts talk by George Akerlof, 2001 Nobel Laureate, on 'Economics and Identity'
		Akerlof shared a 2001 Nobel Prize with Stanford University's A. Michael Spence and Columbia University's Joseph E. Stiglitz for their contributions to the foundations of the theory of markets with asymmetric information — that is, that agents on one side of the market have much better information than those on the other side.
		Akerlof's talk is based on his current work with colleague Rachel Kranton of the University of Maryland.
		Akerlof's NSF-supported work includes: the theory of the business cycle and measurement of its impact; cognitive dissonance and economic theory; studies in labor markets that measured impacts of job changes and unemployment, and the effects of taxes on labor supply; and several studies of the economics and behavior in primarily low income, urban areas.

	INSIDER INFORMATION : Is insider information useful? American economist George Akerlof looks at the used car market as ...
		But it wasn't until an American economist named George Akerlof published a revolutionary paper in 1970 that the profession realized quite how profound and dramatic the problem might be.
		Akerlof chose as his example the market for used cars and showed that even if the market is highly competitive, it simply cannot work if sellers know a lot about the quality of their cars and buyers do not.
		Akerlof won the Nobel Prize in 2001 for his work on the problem of asymmetric information; he shared it with two economists who proposed partial solutions.

	George Akerlof's Question: Archive Entry From Brad DeLong's Webjournal
		The Sweet Spot: "What we have here is a form of looting." So says George Akerlof, a Nobel laureate in economics, of the Bush administration's budget policies -- and he's right.
		With startling speed, we've blown right through the usual concerns about budget deficits -- about their effects on interest rates and economic growth -- and into a range where the very solvency of the federal government is at stake.
		George W. Bush is like a man who tells you that he's bought you a fancy new TV set for Christmas, but neglects to tell you that he charged it to your credit card, and that while he was at it he also used the card to buy some stuff for himself.

	USATODAY.com - Three Americans win Nobel Prize in economics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		When George Akerlof wrote a paper called "The Market for Lemons" his first year as an assistant professor 32 years ago, he couldn't get economics journals to publish it.
		It was considered quirky and went against the grain of conventional economic thinking, which held that buyers and sellers would not agree on a sales price unless they both considered themselves better off.
		Sometimes mistrust can be solved by repeat buying and reputation, which explains why consumers will pay more for the mechanic they know or pay more for Bayer than generic aspirin.
