Leo Hurwicz to receive Nobel Prize from Swedish ambassador during live webcast of ceremony from Stockholm, Dec. 10
University of Minnesota Regents Professor Emeritus Leonid Hurwicz will be presented the Nobel Prize in Economics during a simulcast of the award ceremony from Stockholm beginning at 9:20 a.m. Monday, Dec. 10 in the Ted Mann Concert Hall, 2106 Fourth St. S., Minneapolis. (The live ceremony from Sweden will be projected on a large screen set up on the concert hall stage.) University of Minnesota President Robert Bruininks, Provost Thomas Sullivan, colleagues, family and well wishers will be on hand as Swedish Ambassador Jonas Hafstrom presents the Nobel Prize to Hurwicz in person during the economics award portion of the simulcast. Hurwicz, along with two other Americans, was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics for theories that help set rules for transactions ranging from auctions to elections. Hurwicz, 90, is the oldest Nobel winner in history. The Moscow-born researcher won the award along with Eric Maskin and Roger Myerson. A reception will take place in the lobby immediately following the ceremony. Tickets for this event are no longer available. ---------- |
