City Journal, a publication of the Manhattan Institute, focuses on urban policy. Recently, economists Robert E. Hall and Michael Woodford were awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Economics. Their groundbreaking work on the ‘microeconomic foundations of macroeconomic stabilisation’ earned them this distinction.
Their research has significantly influenced how modern central banks approach economic stabilization. By shifting attention from overarching economic indicators such as inflation and unemployment, Hall and Woodford’s models emphasize the importance of individual decision-making in macroeconomic policy.
