The work. The Fuller half of Dickey-Fuller, plus decades of work on survey sampling and measurement error that shaped how statistical agencies handle their data.
The case for. The unit root test is one of the most cited tools in empirical economics, and Clarivate named him alongside Dickey and Perron.
The case against. He was born in 1931. The committee rarely hands the prize to statisticians, and the time series slot went to Engle and Granger in 2003.
The KmikeyM angle. Measurement error is the whole problem with pricing a person: the market prints a number every day, and what that number measures is anyone's guess.
