Two giants in econ died last week: Jim Andreoni & Bill Nordhaus. Both spent their careers on one of the hardest problems in economics: getting people to cooperate & contribute to public goods. Jim focused on individuals, & Bill focused on nations with climate change.
Wiliam Nordhaus was one of the greats - and an incredibly good, kind, humble, and generous person, with the highest standards. Let's mourn, and let's also celebrate him.
