The Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics has been awarded to Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson, and James A. Robinson, honoring their pivotal research into the link between societal institutions and national prosperity, as announced in Stockholm on Monday.

The trio's studies underscore how effective rule of law and equitable institutions are crucial for a nation's growth, stated the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Their findings reveal why societies with exploitative institutions fail to thrive economically.
