The Royal Swedish Academy Names the 2026 Economic Sciences Laureates
- The 2026 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel is announced on Monday 12 October 2026 by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the last of the six 2026 Nobel announcements, which run 5–12 October[2][3]
- Both nobelprize.org pages time it as “11:45 CEST at the earliest”, keeping the hedge; only the peace prize announcement is given a time without it[2][3]
- The Nobel Foundation press release gives the venue in full as the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Session Hall, Lilla Frescativagen 4A, Stockholm[3]
- The YouTube description is vaguer on place, saying only that the prize “will be announced at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm, Sweden”[1]
- The announcement is broadcast live: “All prize announcements will be broadcast live on the official digital channels of the Nobel Prize”, with a YouTube live stream listed for each[2][3]
- The pin's source is that live stream page, titled “Announcement of the 2026 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel” on the Nobel Prize channel, published 2026-09-14 and tagged #NobelPrize[1]
- No laureates are named: the live stream page gives no laureate names and no announcement date beyond its own publication timestamp[1]
- Both pages give the prize its full formal name, “Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2026”, setting it apart from the five prizes named for Nobel himself, though neither states that it was not established by his will[2][3]
- The press release setting the 2026 dates and venues is dated 2 February 2026, lists a press invitation for this announcement, and says media wishing to attend “should apply to the respective prize-awarding institution in the early fall”[3]
- The announcement closes a selection year that opens with nominations in September, closes them at midnight on 31 January, runs evaluation from February to September and ends with the institutions' final vote in October[2]
- The laureates receive their medals, prize money and diplomas on Nobel Day, 10 December, in Stockholm and Oslo[2]
