Who won the first Nobel prize for economics?
Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences
Laureates in the Memorial Prize in Economics are selected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.[12][13] 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".[9][14][15]
Journal of Population Economics
Since 1995, the journal awards the "Kuznets Prize", named after the 1971 Nobel Prize laureate Simon Kuznets, a pioneer in populations economics, for the best article published in the journal. The editors judge the best papers, originally for a three-year period and since 2014 annually.
