Innovation-Driven Economic Growth and the 2025 Nobel Prize in Economics
The 2025 Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded to Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion, and Peter Howitt for their work on innovation-driven economic growth.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences recognized their contributions, stating that the laureates' work shows
"we must be aware of, and counteract, threats to continued growth".
- Joel Mokyr, a professor at Northwestern University, received half of the prize.
- Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt, professors at the London School of Economics and Brown University, respectively, shared the other half.
The Nobel committee praised the laureates, noting that
"sustained growth cannot be taken for granted. Economic stagnation, not growth, has been the norm for most of human history".
