Nobel Prize in Economics goes to two US economists
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences has been awarded to two American economists, Robert E. Hall and Michael Woodford. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm announced the decision on Monday. The pair won for their work on the microeconomic foundations of macroeconomic stabilization. Their research allows economists to build models that governments and central banks can lean on when the economy swings between booms and busts.
