Neoliberal Nobel wins slowed after Lindbeck left the prize committee in 1994

Evidence

MPS members had far fewer winners from 1994 forwards. The only additional member was Vernon Smith in 2002. This slowdown corresponds to Assar Lindbeck’s removal from the committee in 1994, as well as the last actual MPS member cycling off the committee. — Dieter Plehwe, Quinn Slobodian & Philip Mirowski (eds.), Nine Lives of Neoliberalism, 495
