1. About the prize

The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel was established in 1968 by Sweden’s central bank, Sveriges Riksbank, through a donation to the Nobel Foundation. The first prize was awarded in 1969 to Ragnar Frisch and Jan Tinbergen.

Although it is commonly known as the Nobel Prize in Economics, it was not one of the original prizes listed in Alfred Nobel’s will. It is awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences under the same general principles as the Nobel Prizes.
