Three American scientists won the Nobel Prize in Economics this year, for their research on social institutions and prosperity.

Since the Nobel Prize was first awarded in 1969, about 80% of the recipients are American citizens. Why is that?

The 2016 Nobel Economic Prize has just been awarded to Oliver Hart of Harvard and Bengt Holmström at MIT.

The latest announcement said the trio of economists Eugene F. Fama, Lars Peter Hansen and Robert J. Shiller won the 2013 Nobel Prize in economics.

This year's Nobel Prize in Economics will be awarded on October 14. According to analysts, American economists will still dominate the award this time.
