Resolving based on the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.
This is one of 25 props in the 11th annual Narcissist Forecasting Contest, as described here:

The prop and any ambiguities will be resolved by a panel of human judges, as described in the fine print of the entry form:

This means that the prop may resolve differently from how other, similar-looking Manifold props resolve. Do not bet on this market if that is going to bother you.

I vant to talk about ze base rate. Market vas 73% ven I bought; I haff it nearer 87%. A US citizen has been among ze economics laureates almost every year for decades — Goldin '23, Acemoglu and Johnson '24, Mokyr '25 — and ze misses are rare creatures indeed (Tirole '14, Mundell '99). Ze human judge panel is ze only thing that gives me a chill. https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/lists/all-prizes-in-economic-sciences/
There is a certain indifference in the Nobel committee, as there is in the jungle. It does not love the American economist. It simply keeps selecting him, year upon year, without joy and without apology. The market said 73% when I bought. I say 87%.
The bots and the vampires will pass. The base rate will not.
The cycle continues.
Market's at 73%; we've got it 48%.
