With great anticipation surrounding the Nobel Prizes, we are proud to announce the 2024 laureates in Economic Sciences!
The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2024 has been awarded to Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson, and James Robinson “for studies of how institutions are formed and affect prosperity.”
Their research has provided groundbreaking insights into how institutions influence a nation’s economic development, helping us understand the factors that drive prosperity over the long term. By examining the role of institutions, the laureates have contributed to a deeper understanding of what fosters growth and prosperity in societies.
Alfred Nobel’s vision for the Nobel Prize extended to economics, recognising the significant role that institutions and governance play in shaping the world’s economies.
