The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the 2024 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences to Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson, and James A. Robinson.

The three economists 바카라have demonstrated the importance of societal institutions for a country's prosperity,바카라 the Nobel committee of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said.

바카라Societies with a poor rule of law and institutions that exploit the population do not generate growth or change for the better. The laureates' research helps us understand why,바카라 it added.

The announcement was made Monday in Stockholm.

Acemoglu and Johnson work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Robinson conducts his research at the University of Chicago.

What Is Different About The Economic Prize From Other Nobel Prizes?

The economics prize is formally known as the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. The central bank established it in 1968 as a memorial to Nobel, the 19th-century Swedish businessman and chemist who invented dynamite and established the five Nobel Prizes.

Though Nobel purists stress that the economics prize is technically not a Nobel Prize, it is always presented together with the others on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death in 1896.

Nobel honours were announced last week in medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and peace.
