	Nobel econ prize awarded - Oct. 8, 1996
		NEW YORK (CNNfn) -- The 1996 Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded on Tuesday to Columbia University's Professor William Vickrey and Professor James Mirrlees of Cambridge University for research into the economics of financial information.
		The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which administers the Nobel prizes, said Vickrey and Mirrlees were awarded the $1.12 million economics prize for significant contributions to "the economic theory of incentives under asymmetric information" or the consequences of having incomplete financial information.
		A quarter-century later, Mirrlees applied those theories to his own research and discovered a series of practical applications including situations where one side in a business arrangement cannot observe another's actions.

		This paper deals with problems of information and incentives with reference to the works of two prominent economists, William Vickreyand James Mirrlees, the most recent Nobel Prize Laureates in economics.
		Contrary to the common notion that economics only deals with dull and mundane issues of money and material objects, the field of economics has been one of the most fertile grounds for cultivation and promotion of the most exciting and liveliest areas of social and behavioral research.
		Almost three decades later, this particular study was taken up by James Mirrlees who perfected the earlier model in an attempt to find an optimal income tax model.
