2026年诺贝尔经济学奖揭晓：霍尔与伍德福德因稳定经济研究获奖
瑞典皇家科学院10月12日在斯德哥尔摩宣布，2026年瑞典央行纪念阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔经济学奖授予美国经济学家罗伯特·霍尔与迈克尔·伍德福德，表彰他们为宏观经济稳定奠定微观基础的研究。
霍尔83岁，任教于斯坦福大学；伍德福德生于1955年，是哥伦比亚大学教授。两人各自发展出强化现代经济政策理论基础的方法。奖项委员会表示，基于这些模型，适时的财政与货币政策可以削减经济的波峰与波谷。
该奖正式名称为「瑞典央行纪念阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔经济学奖」，由瑞典央行于1968年设立，奖金1200万瑞典克朗，将与诺贝尔各奖一同于12月10日诺贝尔逝世纪念日颁发。本年度医学、物理、化学、文学与和平奖已于上周陆续揭晓，经济学奖为今年诺贝尔季收官。
委员会指出，20世纪70年代石油冲击暴露了当时凯恩斯模型的局限，霍尔与伍德福德的研究把家庭与企业的决策与预期纳入宏观模型，帮助各国央行与政府理解利率、支出与预期如何影响通胀与增长。
Hall and Woodford Win 2026 Economics Nobel for Work on Stabilising Economies
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced in Stockholm on October 12 that the 2026 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel goes to American economists Robert E. Hall and Michael Woodford for microeconomic foundations of macroeconomic stabilisation.
Hall, 83, is a professor at Stanford University; Woodford, born in 1955, is a professor at Columbia University. They independently developed approaches that strengthened the theoretical foundations of modern policymaking. The prize committee said that, on the basis of these models, well-timed fiscal and monetary policy measures can reduce the economy's peaks and troughs.
The award, established by Sweden's central bank in 1968, carries 12 million Swedish kronor and will be presented alongside the Nobel Prizes on December 10, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death. It closes this year's Nobel season, after the medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and peace prizes were announced last week.
The committee noted that the 1970s oil shocks exposed limits in then-current Keynesian models; Hall and Woodford's work links household and business decisions and expectations to wider outcomes, helping central banks and governments assess interest rates, spending and inflation.
