It is administered and referred to along with the Nobel Prizes by the Nobel Foundation.Laureates in the Memorial Prize in Economics are selected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. It was first awarded in 1969 to Dutch economist Jan Tinbergen and Norwegian economist Ragnar Frisch "for having developed and applied dynamic models for the analysis of economic processes".In 2020 Paul Milgrom and Robert B. Wilson were awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for their work on auction theory.
