Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences 2024: Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson & James Robinson
okt. 14, 2024
This year’s Nobel laureates in economic sciences have demonstrated the crucial role of societal institutions in shaping a country’s prosperity. Their research highlights why societies with weak rule of law and exploitative institutions fail to foster growth or drive meaningful change.
Swedish House of Finance (SHoF) researchers have long been involved in the selection committee since the prize’s inception. Per Strömberg, a SHoF researcher and Professor of Finance at the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE), serves as Vice President of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Ingrid Werner, Professor at Ohio State University and Chair of SHoF’s scientific advisory board, is a member of the Economic Sciences Committee for the Prize in Memory of Alfred Nobel.
