Here’s a sampling of links:
* Alex Tabarrok has this review of Ostrom’s work.
* Tyler Cowen sees this as a move toward making this Nobel about social science, not economics. He also has some great links.
* Steve Levitt agrees on this trend in toward a social science Nobel, and kicks himself for not knowing who Ostrom was.
* Paul Krugman on “institutional economics.”
* Justin Fox collects a bunch of links.
* Definitely see Henry’s post at Crooked Timber, which discusses Ostrom’s intellectual contribution and also notes her exceeding generosity as a mentor.
