Acemoglu + Robinson + someone else for "analyzing of the role of political and economic institutions in shaping national development"

Mulainathan's work in ML is not deep at all (mainly trivial), but he is a nice guy and good salesman.
Athey's work in ML is Wager's work. He is the driving force.
Susan Athey, Victor chernozhukov, and Sendhil Mulainathan for incorporating ML in economics research.

I have a question: Hausman was considered a favorite years ago, but why is he never considered nowadays for the Nobel? (Same with Vince Crawford)
