The DeCoursey Nobel Economist Lecture is sponsored by Trinity’s Department of Economics and is made possible through the generosity of the late General Elbert DeCoursey and Mrs. DeCoursey of San Antonio. The series brings a former Nobel economist recipient to Trinity every year and offers rare autobiographical insights into each Nobel’s contributions, growth, and success as a scholar as well as the sources and nature of his or her ideas and discoveries.
