Let's make this birthday one to remember.

87 years old (Born on July 29, 1937)

Happy Birthday, Daniel McFadden! May your special day be filled with choices that maximize happiness and minimize regret—after all, who better than you to model the perfect birthday decision? Your groundbreaking work in econometrics has taught us that life's toughest decisions can indeed be quantified (though we're still waiting for a Nobel-worthy formula on choosing cake flavors).

From Berkeley to USC, you've inspired countless students and colleagues alike. Winning the 2000 Nobel Prize was undoubtedly impressive—but managing university faculty meetings might just have been your greatest feat yet!

Here's wishing you another year of optimal utility and endless laughter.
