On August 19-23, 2014, in Lindau, Germany, 20 Nobel laureates will meet 450 young, promising scholars from 65 countries. The Meeting, in the words of the organizers, “will provide an open exchange of economic expertise and inspire cross-cultural and inter-generational encounters among economists from all over the world. The diverse methodological approaches to economics will be widely discussed between the Laureates and the young participants”. Since 2010 Fondazione Cariplo is the Italian partner organization of Foundation Lindau and Council for the Lindau Nobel Laureates Meeting, the organizations that manage the meetings since 1951 (even if the meeting with the winners of the prize in economic sciences dates back to 2010, the meeting with the laureates in other disciplines is at its 64th edition).
The impressive list of Nobel laureates participants includes 19 economists and Mario Vargas Llosa, a laureate in literature who will attend as well: Robert Aumann, Peter Diamond, Lars Peter Hansen, Finn Kydland, Eric Maskin, Daniel McFadden, Robert C. Merton, James Mirrlees, Robert Mundell, Roger Myerson, John Nash Jr., Edmund Phelps, Edward Prescott, Alvin Roth, Reinhard Selten, William Sharpe, Christopher Sims, Vernon Smith, Joseph Stiglitz and Mario Vargas Llosa.
