Robert Emerson Lucas, Jr. (born September 15, 1937) is an American economist at the University of Chicago. He received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1995. He has been characterized by N. Gregory Mankiw as "the most influential macroeconomist of the last quarter of the 20th century." ==Biography== He was born in 1937 in Yakima, Washington, and was the oldest child of Robert Emerson Lucas and Jane Templeton Lucas. He received his B.A. in History in 1959 and Ph.D. in Economics in 1964, both from the University of Chicago. Lucas studied economics for his Ph.D. on "quasi-Marxist" grounds. He believed that economics was the true driver of history, and so he planned to immerse himself fully in economics and then return to the history department. Following his graduation, Lucas taught at the Graduate School of Industrial Administration (now Tepper School of Business) at Carnegie Mellon University until 1975, when he returned to the University of Chicago. His ex-wife, Rita Lucas, upon their divorce in 1988, had a clause placed in their divorce settlement that she would receive half of any Nobel Prize won by Lucas in the next seven years. When Lucas won the Nobel Prize in 1995 (falling just within the time limit), she was awarded half of the prize money. He later married Nancy Stokey. They have collaborated in papers on growth theory, public finance, and monetary theory. Robert Lucas has two sons: Stephen Lucas and Joseph Lucas. A collection of his papers is housed at the Rubenstein Library at Duke University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Robert E.
