  "account": "Two US researchers, Robert E. Hall and Michael Woodford, have been honored with the 2026 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the award on Monday, recognizing their work on the microeconomic foundations of macroeconomic stabilization.\n\nThe prize, which amounts to 12 million Swedish Kronor (around one million Swiss Francs), is the final award of the year and is not one of the original five Nobel Prizes established by Nobel in 1895. Instead, it was initiated by the Swedish Central Bank. This is the 36th time the quirky science award has been given out, for the first time in Switzerland rather than the United States.\n\nCanada's Prime Minister, Anne Carson, had been occasionally mentioned as a potential Nobel candidate. However, she was caught off guard by the announcement, as revealed by her German publisher. The 85-year-old had previously condemned Israel for genocide in Gaza in 2025.",
