NOBEL PRIZE FOR ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE FIELD OF ECONOMIC SCIENCES FOR 2018
Abstract
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided that the Swedish National Bank Prize for Excellence in Economic Sciences in memory of Alfred Nobel be awarded jointly to William D. Nordhaus for his contribution to "integrating climate change into long-term macroeconomic analysis" and to Paul M. Romer for his contribution to "integrating technological innovation into long-run macroeconomic analysis".
