Abstract

The 2018 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel was awarded to William D. Nordhaus “for integrating climate change into long-run macroeconomic analysis” and to Paul M. Romer “for integrating technological innovations into long-run macroeconomic analysis”. Beatrice Cherrier and Aurélien Saïdi reflect on Romer’s work.
