美国史丹佛大学的劳勃·霍尔（Robert E. Hall）与哥伦比亚大学的麦可·伍德福德（Michael Woodford）共同荣获2026年诺贝尔经济学奖，两人将平分1200万瑞典克朗的奖金，以表彰他们在「总体经济稳定的微观经济基础」领域所做出的卓越贡献。

瑞典皇家科学院指出，霍尔在1978年的研究阐明了消费者偏好维持消费平稳的特质，而伍德福德随后发展的新凯因斯模型则深具影响力。两位学者的理论为全球央行与政府在应对能源危机或家计消费剧烈变动等经济冲击时，建构了稳健的模型基础。

伍德福德受访时提到，其架构在2008年全球金融危机中经受了实践考验，特别是央行采用前瞻性指引对利率走向做出明确承诺，对经济稳定起到了关键作用。此外，为纪念诺贝尔奖设立125周年，今年各奖项奖金较以往增加了100万瑞典克朗。

US-based academics Robert E. Hall of Stanford University and Michael Woodford of Columbia University have won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Economics, sharing the 12 million-krona prize for their foundational research on the microeconomic foundations of macroeconomic stabilization.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences highlighted Hall's 1978 paper demonstrating that consumers prefer stable consumption, alongside Woodford's development of the New Keynesian model. Their collective work provides a robust theoretical framework that central banks and governments worldwide rely on to navigate economic shocks such as energy crises and household spending shifts.

Woodford noted that their framework proved vital during the 2008 global financial crisis, particularly through central banks' adoption of forward guidance regarding future interest rate policy to aid stabilization. Additionally, in conjunction with the 125th anniversary of the prizes, the prize money for each category was increased by 1 million kronor this year.
