They were recognized for their work on innovation-driven economic growth. Mr. Mokyr is from Northwestern University, Mr. Aghion is from the College de France and the London School of Economics, and Mr. Howitt is from Brown University.
The Nobel committee stated that Mr. Mokyr "demonstrated that if innovations are to succeed one another in a self-generating process, we not only need to know that something works, but we also need to have scientific explanations for why."
Mr. Aghion and Mr. Howitt also studied the mechanisms behind sustained growth, including the concept of "creative destruction," where new and better products lead to the decline of older ones.
