- Reactions are largely supportive, although some critics object to another focus on macroeconomics.
- Before the announcement, Costas Milas called Woodford deserving and highlighted his book Interest and Prices.
- Olivier Blanchard portrayed Woodford as systematic and Hall as versatile, with Hall reshaping thinking about consumption.
- Brian Albrecht associated the award with New Keynesian economics and cited Hall’s consumption Euler equation as the IS curve’s foundation.
A Nobel Prize to Woodford would also send a strong message to those politicians who are ignorant of monetary policy and yet very keen to dictate interest-rate decisions.— Costas Milas, University of Liverpool, via email to Alphaville before the prize was announced

Key FactsCREW sues over Kushner’s allegedly unlawful government role

Summary created with AI assistance · Source: nbcnews.com
- CREW filed the lawsuit on October 14, alleging Kushner unlawfully exercises government authority as a senior envoy.
- The lawsuit alleges Kushner was neither Senate-confirmed nor had filed a financial disclosure.
- According to the lawsuit, Kushner’s investment firm manages over $6 billion, with approximately 99% owned by foreign investors.
- Kushner’s attorney rejects the lawsuit, saying ethics advisers confirmed his uncompensated volunteer service complies with applicable requirements.
declining a salary and formal title does not change the reality of Kushner’s role — he exercises significant executive authority and has done so continuously throughout most of President Trump’s second term. And it certainly does not free him from the constitutional constraints of the Appointments Clause or the obligation to file public financial disclosures under the Ethics Act.— From the CREW filing in the lawsuit (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington).
