Records and curiosities

From 1969 to 2025, the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences has had 99 laureates, 3 of them women. The youngest was Esther Duflo, who turned 47 in the award year of 2019; the oldest, Leonid Hurwicz, who turned 90 in 2007. No laureate in this category was born in a Portuguese speaking country through 2025. Since 1969, no year has gone without a prize.

Strictly speaking it was not in the will: the Economic Sciences prize was created by Sweden's central bank in 1968 in memory of Alfred Nobel and first awarded in 1969. It is the only category that has never skipped a year since its debut.
