and Peace – the Nobel Prizes. In 1968, Sveriges Riksbank (Sweden’s central bank) established The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.

950 Nobel Laureates

923 Laureates* and 27 organizations have been awarded the Nobel Prize between 1901 and 2019. Of them, 84 are Laureates in Economic Sciences. A small number of individuals and
