On 10 December 2014, Jean Tirole received the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, known as the “Nobel Prize in Economics”. Created in 1968, for the 300th anniversary of the Bank of Sweden, and awarded for the first time in 1969, this prize rewards an exceptional contribution in the area of economic sciences.
