Since its creation in 1946, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) has supported the early-career research of more than 60 Nobel laureates.
ONR, which celebrates its 75th anniversary this year, is proud to add two more names to that illustrious list Dr. Robert Wilson and Dr. Paul Milgrom of Stanford University, who recently won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences.
The professors shared the accolade for their research in Auction Theory, which designs innovative formats for auctioning goods and services that are difficult to sell in traditional ways including radio frequencies, minerals, energy, electricity rates and cell phone bandwidth.
In addition to helping lay the foundation for the modern telecommunications industry, Wilson s and Milgrom s work improved how the U.S. Navy selects bidding contractors to build ships and submarines.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a substantial drop in air travel. Valuable time slots at major airports in the EU and elsewhere are largely allocated based on a use-it-or-lose-it scheme.

This is perceived as a threat by incumbent airlines but as a opportunity by others who have been trying to get access to major airports for a long time. The European Commission recently adopted a proposal on airport slot relief for the summer 2021 scheduling season, which allows airports to retain their slots if they use them at 40% rather than the usual 80% minimum.
