Nobel Prize in Economics 2008

Paul Krugman is awarded the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2008

The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2007 was awarded to Paul Krugman (USA, 1953) ‘for his analysis of trade patterns and location of economic activity’. His theory, which became known as the ‘new economic geography’ answers the questions surrounding free trade, globalization and worldwide urbanization that affect today’s society so significantly. His approach results from his analysis of the relationships between economies of scale, differentiated products and the transport costs, and the effect of these upon urbanization. Paul Krugman is a Professor of Economics and International Affairs at Princeton University, New Jersey. He has also written columns for the New York Times, Fortune magazine and Slate.

Besides publishing much of his own work with Elsevier including contributing chapters to the Handbook of Industrial Organization, Vol. 2 and the Handbook of International Economics, Vol. 3, Paul Krugman is on the Editorial Board for the Japan and the World Economy journal.
