misplaced focus

Strangely enough the article focuses on topics other than the ones he is most widely known for and for which he received the Nobel prize. The market for lemons is mentioned in the lede but it should be expanded up - along with general work on assymetric information - in the body. Also, where's the stuff on near-rationality, menu costs, bargaining and fairness in macro work that make him the Neo-Keynesian that the article (rightly) says he is?radek (talk) 22:09, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.
