Robert Hall and Michael Woodford win the economics Nobel
Robert E. Hall and Michael Woodford won the Nobel memorial prize in economics, AP and Reuters reported, for work on stabilising economies. The Guardian described work on smoothing crises, the FT said the pair transformed crisis management, and the Economist headlined it as keeping economies on an even keel.
Their work helps central banks and governments judge how to respond to shocks.
Ideas like theirs sit behind interest-rate decisions that affect mortgages and prices.
The prize is a good reminder of how central banks think.
