Thesis-advisor/student pairs that won the nobel prize I am trying to compile a list of winners of the Nobel memorial prize in economics whose thesis advisor also won the prize.

So far I have

Eric Maskin (advisor) / Jean Tirole (student)

Are there other pairs?
This seemed like a fun exercise, so using just the info on Wikipedia, I was able to compile this:



Honourable mentions, who I classify as economists who have at least two students who have won the Nobel include:


Wilson (Roth and Holmstrom)
Lovell (Prescott and Mortensen)
Tucker (Nash and Shapley)
Cassel (Myrdal and Ohlin)


Another interesting fact worth mentioning is that, while Krugman’s advisor, Dornbusch, did not win the Nobel, Dornbusch’s supervisor, Mundell, did. A similar comment applies so Lovell, who was Leontief's student, and had two students who won the Prize.

More interesting observations: predictably, for the vast majority of these pairs, the advisor won the prize before the student. Exceptions are Leontief and Samuelson; Fama and Scholes; and Hurwicz and McFadden.

Other triplets: 


Miller-Fama-Scholes
Leontief-Samuelson-Merton
Leontief-Solow-Akerlof/Diamond/Stiglitz
Leontief-Schelling-Spence


We even have a quadruplet: Kuznets-Friedman-Markowitz-Sharpe.
