The corollary to Card's work seems to be that giving a Cal economist twice the Nobel prize money as a Stanfurd one doesn't result in a shortage of Cal Nobel Laureates. It's just the market proving our supremacy.
Really cool to see the industry perspective on the importance of Card's work and to learn that some of his papers are considered seminal in the field. Go Bears and Go Davids for giving us a share in half of the Nobels awarded this year.
I was trying to do some research on this year's laureates and their affiliations and I learned Imbens taught at Cal for four years (2002–2006) before Stanfurd, so I think he qualifies as our fourth laureate this year.
Go Bears!

Great news. One more to add to the stable of Nobel Laureates.

But his first name is Guido and not David!
