Today's announcement of the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2025 (the "economics Nobel" for short) to Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion, and Peter Howitt is very promising for us working in entrepreneurship. Although economists certainly do not do the type of work that we do, this year's Prize overlaps greatly with conversations in our journals - and avenues of research that we should have much to contribute to. There is reason to be happy about this Prize and what it may imply for our discipline!
