Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences

Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel

The Nobel Prizes have been awarded since 1901 in five scientific fields: Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature and Peace. In 1968, Sveriges Riksbank /Sweden’s central bank/ established the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. It is the only Prize not included in the testament of Swedish industrialist and philanthropist Alfred Nobel.
