DetailsOne half of the prize will be awarded to Mokyr “for identifying the prerequisites for sustained growth through technological progress,” and the other half jointly to Aghion and Howitt “for their theory of sustained growth through creative destruction.”
As noted, “over the past two centuries, for the first time in history, the world has seen sustained economic growth; this has lifted a vast number of people out of poverty and laid the foundation for our prosperity.” This year’s laureates in economic sciences, Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion, and Peter Howitt, as stated, explain how innovation provides the impetus for further progress.
“What creates sustained economic growth? This year’s laureates used different methods to answer this question. Through his research in economic history, Joel Mokyr, who received the 2025 Prize in Economic Sciences, demonstrated that a continuous flow of useful knowledge is necessary. (…) The 2025 laureates in economic sciences, Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt, investigated the mechanisms of sustained growth,” the committee said.
The 2025 laureates in economic sciences, it is reported, have taught that sustained growth cannot be taken for granted.
“Their work shows that we must be aware of and counteract threats to continued growth. These threats can come from a few companies being allowed to dominate the market, restrictions on academic freedom, the expansion of knowledge regionally rather than globally, and blocking by potentially disadvantaged groups. If we fail to respond to these threats, the machine that gave us sustained growth, creative destruction, may stop working – and we will again have to get used to stagnation. We can avoid this if we heed the vital conclusions of the laureates,” the statement reads.
