The Committee is the working body that screens the nominations and selects the final candidates. It consists of five members, but for many years the Committee has included adjunct members with the same voting rights as members.</p> <h3>Who is eligible for the Prize in Economic Sciences?</h3> <p>The candidates eligible for the Prize in Economic Sciences are those nominated by qualified persons who have received an invitation from the Economic Sciences Prize Committee to submit names for consideration. No one can nominate himself or herself.</p> <h2>How Are the Laureates in Economic Sciences Selected?</h2> <img src="/web/20180620074847im_/https://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/images/nomination-process-phy-che-eco.jpg" alt="Nomination process."> <p><br>Below is a brief description of the process involved in choosing the Laureates in Economic Sciences.</p> <p><b>September</b> – <i>Nomination forms are sent out</i>. The Economic Sciences Prize Committee sends out confidential forms to around 3,000 individuals – selected professors at universities around the world, Laureates in Economic Sciences, and members of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, among others. </p> <p><b>February</b> – <i>Deadline for submission</i>. The completed forms must reach the Economic Sciences Prize Committee no later than January 31 of the following year. The Committee screens the nominations and selects the preliminary candidates. About 250-350 names are nominated as the same names are often submitted by several nominators.</p> <p><b>March-May</b> –<i> Consultation with experts</i>. The Economic Sciences Prize Committee sends the names of the preliminary candidates to specially appointed experts for their assessment of the candidates' work. </p> <p><b>June-August </b>– <i>Writing of the report</i>. The Economic Sciences Prize Committee puts together the report with recommendations to be submitted to the Academy. The report is signed by all members of the Committee.</p> <p><b>September</b> – <i>Committee submits recommendations.</i> The Economic Sciences Prize Committee submits its report with recommendations on the final candidates to the members of the Academy. The report is discussed at two meetings of the Economic Sciences Section of the Academy.</p> <p><b>October</b> – <i>Economic Sciences Laureates are chosen</i>. In early October, the Academy of Sciences selects the Laureates in Economic Sciences through a majority vote. The decision is final and without appeal. The names of the Laureates in Economic Sciences are then announced. </p> <p><b>December –</b> <i>Economic Sciences Laureates receive their prize.</i> The Nobel Prize Award Ceremony takes place on 10 December in Stockholm, where the Nobel Laureates receive their Nobel Prize, which consists of a Nobel Medal and Diploma, and a document confirming the prize amount.</p> <h3>Are the nominations made public?</h3> <p>The statutes of the Nobel Foundation restrict disclosure of information about the nominations, whether publicly or privately, for 50 years. The restriction concerns the nominees and nominators, as well as investigations and opinions related to the award of a prize.</p> <h3>Not a Nobel Prize</h3> <p>The Prize in Economic Sciences is not a Nobel Prize. In 1968, Sveriges Riksbank (Sweden's central bank) instituted "The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel", and it has since been awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences according to the same principles as for the Nobel Prizes that have been awarded since 1901. The first Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded to Ragnar Frisch and Jan Tinbergen in 1969.</p> <p><a href="/web/20180620074847/https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/prize_awarder/index.html" class="text_link">Contact the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences</a></p> <hr> <p><strong>Read more about how the Nobel Laureates are nominated:</strong><br> <a href="/web/20180620074847/https://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/physics/index.html" class="text_link">Nomination of the Physics Laureates</a><br/> <a href="/web/20180620074847/https://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/chemistry/index.html" class="text_link">Nomination of the Chemistry Laureates</a><br/> <a href="/web/20180620074847/https://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/medicine/index.html" class="text_link">Nomination of the Medicine Laureates</a><br/> <a href="/web/20180620074847/https://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/literature/index.html" class="text_link">Nomination of the Literature Laureates</a><br/> <a href="/web/20180620074847/https://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/peace/index.html" class="text_link">Nomination of the Peace Prize Laureates</a><br/> <a href="/web/20180620074847/https://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/economic-sciences/index.html" class="text_link">Nomination of the Laureates in Economic Sciences</a></p> <p> </p> <div style="clear:both"></div>  <div style="clear:both"></div>  <div style="float: left; width: 100%; margin: 20px 0 20px 0; padding: 5px 0 5px 0; border-top: 1px solid #c0c0c0; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;">  <div style="display: inline; float: left;"><h5 style="margin-right: 5px; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; display: inline;">Share this:</h5></div> <div style="display: inline; float: left;" class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_16x16_style"> <a class="addthis_button_facebook"></a> <a class="addthis_button_google_plusone_share"></a> <a class="addthis_button_twitter"></a> <a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style"></a> <a class="addthis_button_email"></a> </div> <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":false};</script> <script type="text/javascript" src="//web.archive.org/web/20180620074847js_/https://s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=nobelprize"></script>  </div> <div style="clear:both"></div> <div class="mla_cite" style="word-break: break-all;"> <span class="row1">To cite this page</span><br><span class="row2">MLA style: "Nomination and Selection of Laureates in Economic Sciences". <i>Nobelprize.org.</i> Nobel Media AB 2014.
