"for their empirical analysis of asset prices”.
Trendspotting in asset markets
There
is no way to predict the price of stocks and bonds over the next few
days or weeks. But it is quite possible to foresee the broad course of
these prices over longer periods, such as the next three to five years.
These findings, which might seem both surprising and contradictory, were
made and analyzed by this year’s Laureates, Eugene Fama, Lars Peter
Hansen and Robert Shiller.
Beginning in the 1960s, Eugene Fama and
several collaborators demonstrated that stock prices are extremely
difficult to predict in the short run, and that new information is very
quickly incorporated into prices. These findings not only had a profound
impact on subsequent research but also changed market practice. The
emergence of so-called index funds in stock markets all over the world
is a prominent example.
If
prices are nearly impossible to predict over days or weeks, then
shouldn’t they be even harder to predict over several years? The answer
is no, as Robert Shiller discovered
in the early 1980s. He found that stock prices fluctuate much more than
corporate dividends, and that the ratio of prices to dividends tends to
fall when it is high, and to increase when it is low. This pattern
holds not only for stocks, but also for bonds and other assets.
One
approach interprets these findings in terms of the response by rational
investors to uncertainty in prices. High future returns are then viewed
as compensation for holding risky assets during unusually risky times. Lars Peter Hansen developed
a statistical method that is particularly well suited to testing
rational theories of asset pricing. Using this method, Hansen and other
researchers have found that modifications of these theories go a long
way toward explaining asset prices.
Another
approach focuses on departures from rational investor behavior.
So-called behavioral finance takes into account institutional
restrictions, such as borrowing limits, which prevent smart investors
from trading against any mispricing in the market.
The
Laureates have laid the foundation for the current understanding of
asset prices. It relies in part on fluctuations in risk and risk
attitudes, and in part on behavioral biases and market frictions.

The Nobel Peace Prize for 2013
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has
decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2013 is to be awarded to the
Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) for its
extensive efforts to eliminate chemical weapons.
During
World War One, chemical weapons were used to a considerable degree. The
Geneva Convention of 1925 prohibited the use, but not the production or
storage, of chemical weapons. During World War Two, chemical means
were employed in Hitler’s mass exterminations. Chemical weapons have
subsequently been put to use on numerous occasions by both states and
terrorists. In 1992-93 a convention was drawn up prohibiting also the
production and storage of such weapons. It came into force in 1997.
Since then the OPCW has, through inspections, destruction and by other
means, sought the implementation of the convention. 189 states have
acceded to the convention to date.
The
conventions and the work of the OPCW have defined the use of chemical
weapons as a taboo under international law. Recent events in Syria,
where chemical weapons have again been put to use, have underlined the
need to enhance the efforts to do away with such weapons. Some states
are still not members of the OPCW. Certain states have not observed the
deadline, which was April 2012, for destroying their chemical weapons.
This applies especially to the USA and Russia.
Disarmament
figures prominently in Alfred Nobel’s will. The Norwegian Nobel
Committee has through numerous prizes underlined the need to do away
with nuclear weapons. By means of the present award to the OPCW, the
Committee is seeking to contribute to the elimination of chemical
weapons.

Biobibliographical notes
Alice Munro was
born on the 10th of July, 1931 in Wingham, which is in the Canadian
province of Ontario. Her mother was a teacher, and her father was a fox
farmer. After finishing high school, she began studying journalism and
English at the University of Western Ontario, but broke off her studies
when she got married in 1951. Together with her husband, she settled in
Victoria, British Columbia, where the couple opened a bookstore. Munro
started writing stories in her teens, but published her first
book-length work in 1968, the story collection Dance of the Happy Shades,
which received considerable attention in Canada. She had begun
publishing in various magazines from the beginning of the 1950's. In
1971 she published a collection of stories entitled Lives of Girls and Women, which critics have described as a Bildungsroman.
Munro is primarily known for her short stories and has published many collections over the years. Her works include Who Do You Think You Are? (1978), The Moons of Jupiter (1982), Runaway (2004), The View from Castle Rock(2006) and Too Much Happiness (2009). The collection Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage (2001) became the basis of the film Away from Her from 2006, directed by Sarah Polley. Her most recent collection is Dear Life(2012).
Munro
is acclaimed for her finely tuned storytelling, which is characterized
by clarity and psychological realism. Some critics consider her a
Canadian Chekhov. Her stories are often set in small town environments,
where the struggle for a socially acceptable existence often results in
strained relationships and moral conflicts – problems that stem from
generational differences and colliding life ambitions. Her texts often
feature depictions of everyday but decisive events, epiphanies of a
kind, that illuminate the surrounding story and let existential
questions appear in a flash of lightning.
Alice Munro currently resides in Clinton, near her childhood home in southwestern Ontario.
