The paper presents the professor-student network of Nobel laureates in\neconomics. 74 of the 79 Nobelists belong to one family tree. The remaining 5\nbelong to 3 separate trees. There are 350 men in the graph, and 4 women. Karl\nKnies is the central-most professor, followed by Wassily Leontief. No classical\nand few neo-classical economists have left notable descendants. Harvard is the\ncentral-most university, followed by Chicago and Berlin. Most candidates for\nthe Nobel prize belong to the main family tree, but new trees may arise for the\nstudents of Terence Gorman and Denis Sargan.\n
