Former UA economist Vernon L. Smith, who still lives in Tucson, is featured in the lead story on the front page of the Wall Street Journal today, in a story about the bull market. Smith and two other experts say they think this bull market has legs.
Smith spent 26 years as an economist at the UA before he and his research team left the university for George Mason University in 2001. Smith won a Nobel prize the next year, largely for work he’d done at the UA. Smith maintains a home here, and, according to the Journal, “wears cowboy boots, western clothing and Hopi jewelry.”
