SIPA and The Simpsons COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY - SIPA Admissions Blog

SIPA and The Simpsons COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY - SIPA Admissions Blog I am not what you would call an avid follower of The Simpsons television show, however I do watch it occasionally and have always been impressed with the way the creators integrate real people into episodes. Recently I received an email from an alumnus of our program notifying me that a SIPA faculty member was mentioned in an episode.   Jagdish Bhagwati is professor at SIPA and from what I understand, what you see below is a ballot created on the show to help guess the winners of Nobel prizes.   One SIPA professor, Joseph Stiglitz, actually did win the Nobel Prize in economics in 2001.
