Roth and Shapley Win Nobel in Econ
Alvin Roth and Lloyd Shapley win Nobel in economics for algorithms for matching.
Everything I know about this subfield I learned from my friend Atila A., here at Duke. Here is a paper he coauthored with Roth, in the AER. It's an interesting and important problem, though the "solutions" are highly technical. But this paper is quite accessible.

Mungo! You don't remember Jim Little teaching us how to compute the "Shapley-Shubik power index"? That was a highlight of grad school!
