博因顿安迪, the John and Linda Powers Family Dean of the 卡罗尔管理学院, said the addition of 罗默 to a world-class faculty offers great opportunities for both 太阳城网赌平台 and the Carroll School.
“保罗•罗默 is one of the most respected and accomplished economists in the world,” said Boynton. “By joining the Carroll School faculty community he provides an instant injection of large doses of imagination, 智力, and aspiration into every fiber of our culture. His palpable commitment to research and teaching will benefit all of our students and faculty, and our outstanding Finance Department, 特别是, will continue its rapid ascent among the best in the world.”
罗默 received the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel “for integrating technological innovations into long-run macroeconomic analysis.” He shared the prize with Yale University's William Nordhaus.
为了纪念罗默, the Nobel Prize organization said his central contribution demonstrated how knowledge can function as a driver of long-term economic growth: 罗默 “showed how economic forces govern the willingness of firms to produce new ideas. 他的中心理论, 哪一本出版于1990年, explains how ideas are different to other goods and require specific conditions to thrive in a market.”

罗默 says that his lasting contribution was a framework for understanding the economics of ideas that parallels the traditional economics analysis of scarce physical objects.
随着每一天的过去, we read about advances in artificial intelligence, so it now seems obvious that how we produce and distribute ideas is far more important than how we produce and distribute physical objects,罗默说。. “但是当我读太阳城官网生的时候, economists could not identify the fundamental difference between ideas and objects. 在实际层面上, this meant that they could not see how the social capital of trust, 几代人慢慢积累, facilitated the distribution of ideas. 结果是, they could not anticipate the damage a new business model based on tracking and targeted digital advertising could do by eroding the social trust.”
丹佛人, 科罗拉多州, 罗默 studied at the University of Chicago, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 以及金斯敦的女王大学, 安大略.
