: 本屆獲得諾貝爾經濟學獎的三位經濟學家，正可現身說法。以美國經濟學家戴蒙德為首的 : 獲獎者，最大的貢獻就是發現：原來現實市場中的資訊是不完整、不應分二，而且要為所 : 需的資訊付出昂貴的成本，經過努力的搜尋，才能藉以買到合意的商品或找到適當的工作 : 雇主找不到所需的勞工而出現缺工問題，同時勞工也找不到合適的工作而陷入失業困境 : ，原來就是搜尋成本作祟！ : 如果一個道旁小鬼認真地大聲宣告此一發現，不免招來一陣訕笑！但當經濟學家認真地以 : 一個高度複雜的數學模型推證出此一結論，諾貝爾經濟學獎的桂冠即光榮加身。 我要特別提這段出來講一下 實在是看不下去 請看看頌詞 http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/economics/laureates/2010/press.html Why are so many people unemployed at the same time that there are a large number of job openings? How can economic policy affect unemployment? This year's Laureates have developed a theory which can be used to answer these questions. This theory is also applicable to markets other than the labor market 以及最後一段： Search theory has been applied to many other areas in addition to the labor market. This includes, in particular, the housing market. The number of homes for sale varies over time, as does the time it takes for a house to find a buyer and the parties to agree on the price. Search theory has also been used to study questions related to monetary theory, public economics, financial economics, regional economics, and family economics. 他們的模型不只能分析勞動市場 在同樣的概念下可以延伸至房地產、貨幣經濟......等領域 個人以為這才是他們獲得諾貝爾獎最重要的原因 這種廣泛性且有影響力的應用還的確不常見 我覺得有必要特別點出來 免得版上比較年輕的學子還真以為這種『路人之見』也能拿諾貝爾獎...... 話說 這樣一來其他領域的搜尋模型未來獲獎的機率就降低了 --
