Resumen
En el 2000 la Academia Real Sueca de Ciencias otorgó un premio Nobel compartido entre dos economistas cuyos aportes en los campos de la microeconometría, permitieron el descubrimiento de métodos ampliamente aplicados en el análisis estadístico de la conducta individual y familiar en el área económica así como el de otras ciencias sociales. Particularmente, según el dictamen de la Academia el premio para James Heckman se basa en su descubrimiento de la teoría y métodos para el análisis de muestras selectivas y a Daniel McFadden por el descubrimiento de la teoría y los métodos para el análisis de la elección discreta. En este artículo se expondrán las teorías de cada uno de estos autores, con el fin de conocer un poco más acerca de los aportes teóricos de los economistas galardonados con esta distinción.

In particular, according to the opinion of the Academy, the award for James Heckman is based on his discovery of the theory and methods for the analysis of selective samples and Daniel McFadden for the discovery of the theory and methods for the analysis of discrete choice. In this article the theories of each of these authors will be exposed, in order to know a little more about the theoretical contributions of the economists awarded with this distinction.
