Lindau Nobel Prize Meeting

It has been long since I posted; but the last few months had been pretty engaging. I had been one of the 300 young economists selected from across the world for participating at the 2nd Lindau Meeting of Nobel Laureates in Economics. The meeting was set on the beautiful little island of Lindau in the southern part of Germany. As many as ten nobels participated at the four day event that was inaugurated by the German President. John Nash Jr., Sir Douglas North, Sir James Mirlees, Clive Granger, Robert Mundell, Reinhard Selten, Robert Engel, Finn Kydland were the nobels who lectured over those wonderful four days. I really commend the Lindau Council for organising such a grand event. On the final day we were taken to University of St. Gallen (Switzerland) for the final panel session. We then visited the Island of Mainau. The Countess of Mainau is the President of the Lindau Council. She bade us a great grand farewell there and a tour guide guided us through the picturesque island.
