他拿诺奖，就靠六十年的几篇无模型、无数据、无套路的三无论文！

看了李由的《他拿诺奖，就靠六十年的几篇无模型、无数据、无套路的三无论文！》，感觉有点兴趣，了解一下这个人。

《纽约时报》2013年的文章说他这个‘Accidental’经济学家得了诺奖，但怎么个‘Accidental’ ，打不开原文：

李由说Ronald H. Coase文章无模型、无数据、无套路，这可能一方面是他的研究兴趣不需要或无法用这些东西，也可能与他的方法思想有关。有他的引言为证：

“If you torture the data long enough, it will confess.”  
 ―      Ronald H. Coase,            Essays on Economics and Economists   

“But a theory is not like an airline or bus timetable. We are not interested simply in the accuracy of its predictions. A theory also serves as a base for thinking. It helps us to understand what is going on by enabling us to organize our thoughts. Faced with a choice between a theory which predicts well but gives us little insight into how the system works and one which gives us this insight but predicts badly, I would choose the latter, and I am inclined to think that most economists would do the same.”  
 ―      Ronald H. Coase,            Essays on Economics and Economists    

他的论文发表的期刊档次如何，水平如何，咱不熟悉经济学，不了解，但既然得了诺奖，应该是有影响的：

此外，这个人活到老干到老的精神也应该学习：
