Economist Robert M. Solow has died aged 99, bringing @theoldlady her third hit for 2023!

 

Solow was worth 4.524 points (nonagenarian economist, awarded alone in the 1980s.)

 

The contest has still more than a month left, please choose a new economist candidate.

As written above, the contest still has one month left, but it is time to look at the scoreboard:

 

@theoldlady in in the lead with 13.749 points
second is @ladyfiona with 12.269 points (same here)

@Hell is third with 10.169 points

 

Interestingly, all of these hits are first nominations. The new rule that you can replace the deceased had no effect here.

 

Lets see wht the followin 40 days will bring.
