The Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (officially Swedish: Sveriges riksbanks pris i ekonomisk vetenskap till Alfred Nobels minne, or the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel), commonly referred to as the Nobel Prize in Economics, is an award for outstanding contributions to the field of economics, and generally regarded as the most prestigious award for that field.
The prize was established in 1968 by a donation from Sweden's central bank, the Sveriges Riksbank, on the bank's 300th anniversary. Although it is not one of the prizes that Alfred Nobel established in his will in 1895, it is referred to along with the other Nobel Prizes by the Nobel Foundation. Winners are announced with the other Nobel Prize winners, and receive the award at the same ceremony.
Laureates in the Memorial Prize in Economics are selected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. It was first awarded in 1969 to the Dutch and Norwegian economists Jan Tinbergen and Ragnar Frisch, "for having developed and applied dynamic models for the analysis of economic processes."
The Nobel Prize (Swedish pronunciation: [nʊˈbɛl], Swedish definite form, singular: Nobelpriset; Norwegian: Nobelprisen) is a set of annual international awards bestowed in a number of categories by Swedish and Norwegian committees in recognition of academic, cultural and/or scientific advances.
The will of the Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel established the prizes in 1895. The prizes in Chemistry, Literature, Peace, Physics, and Physiology or Medicine were first awarded in 1901. The related Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences was established by Sweden's central bank in 1968. Medals made before 1980 were struck in 23 carat gold, and later from 18 carat green gold plated with a 24 carat gold coating. Between 1901 and 2015, the Nobel Prizes and the Prize in Economic Sciences were awarded 573 times to 900 people and organizations. With some receiving the Nobel Prize more than once, this makes a total of 870 individuals (822 men and 48 women) and 23 organizations.
The prize ceremonies take place annually in Stockholm, Sweden, except for the peace prize which is held in Oslo, Norway and each recipient, or laureate, receives a gold medal, a diploma and a sum of money that has been decided by the Nobel Foundation. (As of 2012, each prize was worth SEK8 million or about US$1.2 million, €0.93 million or £0.6 million.) The Nobel Prize is widely regarded as the most prestigious award available in the fields of literature, medicine, physics, chemistry, peace, and economics.

In conversation with Google's Hal Varian, Professor Alvin E. Roth will discuss market design and his new book. If you’ve ever sought a job or hired someone, applied to college or guided your child into a good kindergarten, asked someone out on a date or been asked out, you’ve participated in a kind of market. Most of the study of economics deals with commodity markets, where the price of a good connects sellers and buyers. But what about other kinds of “goods,” like a spot in the Yale freshman class or a position at Google? This is the territory of matching markets, where “sellers” and “buyers” must choose each other, and price isn’t the only factor determining who gets what.
This year’s prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel was awarded Angus Deaton “for his analysis of consumption, poverty, and welfare”.
Winners of the Nobel prize in Economics walk the walk and talk the talk of your typical Nobel prize winner. The Nobel Foundation, who gives out Nobel Prizes, tracks winners of this award on their website and promotes this award along with its own. There's just one problem: there is no Nobel Prize for Ecomics. There is instead the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. It was first awarded in 1969 as an attempt to deter government oversight of the Swedish national Bank by establishing Economics as an aspect of science and not politics. Some xperts, including one of the prize's winners, Friedrich von Hayek, have spoken out, claiming that the level of uncertainty involved in economic theories means they should not be perceived as equally unshakable to scientific ...

The Buttonwood Gathering 2013, New York City Bubble economy - Hot market concerns. Prices in property and loan markets have sparked concerns of new bubbles forming that could threaten efforts at stabilizing the economy. Are we seeing the beginnings of a bubble in fixed income, corporate loans, or real estate investment trust markets, for example? If so, what if anything should regulators do about it? Can policymakers apply lessons from the last crisis, or are we doomed to repeat history? Lewis Alexander, Chief US economist, Nomura Robert J.
