The Nobel committee awarded the 2026 economics prize on October 13 to Robert Hall of Stanford and Michael Woodford of Columbia for incorporating expectations into macroeconomic policy. The committee said the winners helped smooth the economy's peaks and troughs, citing a 2003 paper. Coverage frames the prize as therapy as much as math, and notes the committee's press release leaned on the word expectations.
