A list of this year's Nobel Prize winners
The Nobel ceremonies will be held on 10 December, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death
The 2025 Nobel season concluded with the announcement that three economists will share the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for their research on innovation‑driven growth.
Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion, and Peter Howitt were recognised for their work on how new technologies drive economic progress by replacing older ones, a concept known as "creative destruction." Mokyr, 79, a Dutch‑born historian at Northwestern University, explores long‑term trends through historical sources, while Aghion, 69, from the Collège de France and the London School of Economics, and Howitt, 79, a Canadian economist at Brown University, use mathematical models to explain innovation's impact.
