Congratulations to Nobel Laureate Richard Thaler!
It should surprise no one, and delight everyone, that Richard Thaler has won this year’s Nobel in economics .
理查德·塞勒赢得了今年的诺贝尔经济学奖，这应该不会让任何人感到惊讶，而是让所有人感到高兴。
Congratulations!
恭喜！
Thaler is a big reason I personally got interested in economics.
泰勒是我个人对经济学感兴趣的一个重要原因。
(I’ve known him quite a bit longer than I’ve known Steve Levitt .) He is everything to be admired in a scholar and thinker: original, judicious, crafty, and more than a little sardonic.
（我认识他的时间比认识史蒂夫·莱维特的时间还要长。）作为一个学者和思想家，他具有一切令人钦佩的特质：原创、明智、狡猾，而且还有点讽刺。
(My only gripe is that he turned me down years ago when I wanted to write a book with him.)
（我唯一的抱怨是，几年前当我想和他一起写一本书时，他拒绝了我。）
Without Thaler, the world would know far, far less about the work of Kahneman and Tversky , as he was the earliest (and pretty much only) economist interested in harnessing the power of their decision-making research.
如果没有泰勒，世界对卡尼曼和特沃斯基的工作的了解将会少得多，因为他是最早（也是几乎唯一）有兴趣利用他们的决策研究力量的经济学家。
Without Thaler, there is no way that behavioral economics would now be a standard tool in the arsenal of policymakers (and, of course, others).
如果没有塞勒，行为经济学现在不可能成为政策制定者（当然还有其他人）的标准工具。
He has been featured on this blog many times over the years; you can sample those pieces here .
多年来他多次出现在这个博客上；您可以在这里品尝这些作品。
He has also been on the Freakonomics Radio podcast a few times, including “ Fighting Poverty With Actual Evidence ” and “ Should We Really Behave Like Economists Say We Do?
他还多次出现在 Freakonomics Radio 播客中，包括“用实际证据对抗贫困”和“我们真的应该像经济学家所说的那样行事吗？”
”
”
And here’s a N.Y.
这是纽约。
Times piece I wrote about Thaler and other behavioralists back in 2003, near the start of his “libertarian paternalism” push.
早在 2003 年，我就曾在《泰晤士报》上写过一篇关于塞勒和其他行为主义者的文章，当时他的“自由家长式作风”运动刚刚开始。
Among his books: the influential Nudge ; the revealing Misbehaving ; and the oft-overlooked Winner’s Curse , which I happened to dip into just last week for fun, and as always got swept up in Thaler’s starkly sane view of the world.
他的著作包括：颇具影响力的《助推》；暴露的不当行为；还有经常被忽视的《胜利者的诅咒》，上周我为了好玩而碰巧接触到了它，并且一如既往地被泰勒完全理智的世界观所吸引。
