The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2021 was divided, one half awarded to David Card โ€œfor his empirical contributions to labour economicsโ€, the other half jointly to Joshua D. Angrist and Guido W. Imbens โ€œfor their methodological contributions to the analysis of causal relationships.โ€

 

As the report states, this yearโ€™s Laureates โ€“ David Card, Joshua Angrist, and Guido Imbens โ€“ have provided us with new insights about the labour market and shown what conclusions about cause and effect can be drawn from natural experiments. Their approach has spread to other fields and revolutionized empirical research.

The Prize amount of 10 million Swedish kronor will be given one half to David Card and the other half jointly to Joshua Angrist and Guido Imbens.
