A British-Cypriot and two Americans, including one nominated by U.S. President Barack Obama to the Federal Reserve board, won the 2010 economics Nobel on Monday for work helping explain unemployment and job markets. The men's work on search markets helped explain how it was possible so many people could be unemployed at a time when a large number of jobs were on offer.
The Cyprus Post issued a stamp (on this FDC) commemorating Christopher Pissarides, the Cypriot Nobel Prize winner 2010.Christopher Antoniou Pissarides (born 20 February 1948) is a British-Cypriot economist.
