Edmund S. Phelps

AKA Edmund Strother Phelps

Born: 26-Jul-1933
Birthplace: Evanston, IL

Gender: Male
Race or Ethnicity: White
Occupation: Economist

Nationality: United States
Executive summary: Golden Rules of Economic Growth

Edmund S. Phelps took a college course in economics at the insistence of his father, and found the class intriguing enough to make economics his life's work. He has written extensively on the theory of employment determination and price-wage dynamics, analyzing how these factors are affected by expectations-based microeconomics. One often-cited implication drawn from Phelps' research is that the relationship between unemployment rates and inflation rates is not as straightforward as had previously been believed. In bestowing the 2006 Nobel Prize in Economics to Phelps, the citation stated that his work had "deepened our understanding of the relation between short-run and long-run effects of economic policy".
