Smith was <a href="https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/economic-sciences/2002/smith/photo-gallery/?gallery_style=page">awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences</a>, recognizing his pioneering work in the field of experimental economics. Currently professor emeritus of economics and law, Smith returned to campus in November 2016, just shy of his 90th birthday, for a ceremony renaming the Metropolitan Building at Mason Square (formerly the Arlington Campus) Vernon Smith Hall. Smith was the second Mason economist to win the Nobel for his work. The first was James M. Buchanan in 1987.</span></span></p> <p><span><span>Photo by Ron Aira/Creative Services</span></span></p> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> <div data-block-plugin-id="field_block:node:news_release:field_content_topics" class="block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodenews-releasefield-content-topics"> <h2>Topics</h2> <div class="field field--name-field-content-topics field--type-entity-reference field--label-visually_hidden"> <div class="field__label visually-hidden">Topics</div> <div class='field__items'> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/201" hreflang="en">Retro Mason</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/96" hreflang="en">Masonat50</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/1086" hreflang="en">economics</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/326" hreflang="en">College of Humanities and Social Sciences</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/146" hreflang="en">Campus News</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> Thu, 01 Dec 2022 12:52:30 +0000 Colleen Rich 596 at https://50th.gmu.edu
