The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said it will announce the 2026 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences on Monday in Stockholm, according to the Associated Press.
What happened
The Academy, which administers the prize established in 1968, will reveal the laureate(s) on Monday, the final award in this year’s Nobel cycle. The prize money is set at 12 million Swedish kronor (about $1.2 million) for an individual, a small group or an organization.
What was said
The AP report notes that Nobel purists stress the economics prize is technically not a Nobel Prize, but it is presented together with the other awards on Dec. 10, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death.
How it came about
Earlier this week Felo News covered the award to U.S. economists Robert Hall and Michael Woodford, linking their micro‑foundations research to the prize’s focus on macroeconomic stabilisation.
