Two of the American scientists, professors at the Stanford university in California are reported to have been awarded the 2020 Nobel prize in economics for their contribution of the auction theory; the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said on Monday.
They researched in the theoretical aspect of how auctions work. According to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences they formulated methods for goods and services sale that are difficult to be auctioned in a traditional way, such as radio frequencies.
?This year?s Laureates in Economic Sciences started out with fundamental theory and later used their results in practical application, which have spread globally. Their discoveries are of great benefit to the society,? Peter Fredriksson, chair of the prize committee, said in a statement.
According to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the scientists have invented new modules that could be used by the seller, by the knowledge of which the seller could reap benefits not only for himself but foe the society too.
Previously, such format methods of auction were used in 1994, where the US authorities sold bands of radio; to ensure the tax payers were benefiting from the sale that were owned by the government but valued by the mobile network operators.
