#2022 Nobel Prize - Economic Sciences

The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel

Their discoveries improved how society deals with financial crises

The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2022 was awarded to Ben S. BernankeDouglas W. DiamondPhilip H. Dybvig “for research on banks and financial crises”.

The Great Depression of the 1930s paralysed the world’s economies for many years and had vast societal consequences. However, we have managed subsequent financial crises better thanks to research insights from this year’s laureates. They have demonstrated the importance of preventing widespread bank collapses.

When Hilda Bastian lost her 38-year-old son, Adam, she spent the weeks that followed searching for solace on the Internet. But Bastian, who studies medical evidence, found that the literature was filled with conflicting theories. She has spent the past few months looking for scientific studies that provide better information on the process of grieving, and started a blog to collect the evidence. Her analysis now includes 103 studies from data on 38,000 people. The methods vary, but the findings suggest that grief starts to ease a few weeks after someone experiences a death and continues to abate from there. “When Adam died, I needed hope that a vibrant life was within my reach. The science showed me that it might be closer than I could imagine,” says Bastian.
