The celebration consisted of three sections:
A seminar was held to celebrate the works of Frisch and Haavelmo. Speakers were Professor Robert W. Dimand and Professor Ariane Dupont, with comments by Professor Charles Manski and Professor Kalle Moene.
Next, the Haavelmo lecture was held by Professor Charles Manski. The Haavelmo lecture is a biennial event to celebrate the work of Haavelmo, and this year the lecture was a part of the jubilee.
As a token of the University's appreciation of the two Nobel laureats and to honour their legacy, two of the auditoriums in Eilert Sundts hus were named after Frisch and Haavelmo.
