Peter Howitt Wins Nobel Prize in Economics
Western graduate and honorary professor Peter Howitt, MA'69, has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics jointly with Joel Mokyr and Philippe Aghion.
Howitt, a faculty member at Western for nearly 25 years, was recognized for his work on creative destruction, a theory that describes how innovation fuels economic growth through the rise of new industries and the decline of outdated ones.
It was the "dream of a lifetime,"
he told reporters, after being awarded the 2025 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.
