2025 economics prize to be announced in Stockholm
The 2025 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel is due to be announced in Stockholm on Monday, October 12.
The award recognizes work in economics.
Sweden’s central bank established it in 1968 and contributes to the Nobel Foundation each year.
Alfred Nobel’s 1895 will did not include economics among the prizes it set out.
For that reason, the economics award is not formally considered a Nobel Prize, and some members of Nobel’s family say it should be kept distinct from those prizes.
Last year’s award went to economic historian Joel Mokyr and economists Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt for work on growth driven by technological innovation.
The announcement of this year’s winner is the next step; the article gives no further details about the decision.
The 2025 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel is due to be announced in Stockholm on Monday, October 12.
The award was established in 1968 by Sweden’s central bank.
It is not formally considered a Nobel Prize because Alfred Nobel’s 1895 will did not mention economists.
Peter Nobel argues the award does not conform to the spirit of the will, while Thomas Tyden says it should be distinct from the prizes outlined in it.
The previous year’s economics prize went to Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt for work on sustained growth based on technological innovation.
