諾貝爾從未設經濟學獎！(商業周刊第 98 … - 經濟

這是http://nobelprize.org/index.html網頁裡的資料
介紹了諾貝爾的各式獎項
當然
他也在裡面介紹了經濟學獎
也很坦白的對這個獎項做了介紹
所以
不多贅述
請大家看看吧~~


Introduction

In conjunction with its tercentenary celebrations in 1968, Sveriges Riksbank
(Bank of Sweden) instituted a new award, "The Central Bank of Sweden Prize
in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel", on the basis of an economic
commitment by the bank in perpetuity. The award is given by the Royal
Swedish Academy of Sciences according to the same principles as for the Nobel
Prizes that have been awarded since 1901.

The procedures for selecting the Laureates are also the same. Each year
the Academy receives some 200-300 nominations, usually covering a little
more than one hundred nominees. (Unsolicited suggestions from persons who
have not been asked to submit nominations are not considered.) The Economics
Prize Selection Committee of the Academy (with five to eight members)
commissions expert studies of the most prominent candidates, sometimes by
Swedish experts but usually by experts from other countries who are reputed
internationally. The Prize Committee presents its award proposal to the
Social Science Class (Class IX) of the Academy in the form of a report,
with an extensive survey of the main candidates who are considered for a
Prize. The report presents arguments in support of the proposal and includes
all the solicited expert studies. On the basis of this material the class
suggests a Laureate (or a shared prize between two or, at most, three
Laureates) regularly following the Committee's proposal. Finally the entire
Academy meets to take the final award decision, usually in October.

What criteria have guided the awards so far? And what have been the main
problems when selecting the Laureates?

It is useful to start a discussion of these issues with a rough classification
of the various types of Economics Prize awards given so far. It should be
kept in mind, however, that all such classifications are rather arbitrary
since the multidimensional nature of scientific contributions makes it
difficult to avoid overlaps.
