A. 2018諾貝爾經濟學獎揭曉：
American economists William Nordhaus and Paul Romer have been awarded the Nobel Prize for their work on understanding how economies can grow sustainably. At its heart, economics deals with the management of scarce resources. Nature dictates the main constraints on economic growth and our knowledge determines how well we deal with these constraints.
美國經濟學家威廉•諾德豪斯(William Nordhaus)和保羅•羅默(Paul Romer)因研究經濟如何可持續增長而獲得諾貝爾獎。經濟學的核心是對稀缺資源的管理。自然決定了經濟增長的主要制約因素，而我們的知識決定了我們如何處理這些制約因素。
B. 經濟學理論介紹：技術變革和氣候變化
Technological change – Romer demonstrates how knowledge can function as a driver of long-term economic growth. Previous macroeconomic research had emphasised technological innovation as the primary driver of economic growth, but had not modelled how economic decisions and market conditions determine the creation of new technologies. Romer’s solution, which was published in 1990, laid the foundation of what is now called endogenous growth theory.
技術變革——羅默展示了知識作為長期經濟增長的驅動力是如何發揮其作用的。以前的宏觀經濟研究強調了技術作為經濟增長的主要動力，但沒有展示經濟決策和市場條件是如何決定技術創新的產生。羅默的解決方案於1990年出版，它奠定了現在所謂的內生增長理論的基礎。
Climate change – Nordhaus』 findings deal with interactions between society and nature. In the mid-1990s, he became the first person to create an integrated assessment model, i.e. a quantitative model that describes the global interplay between the economy and the climate. It is used to examine the consequences of climate policy interventions, for example carbon taxes.
氣候變化——諾德豪斯的發現涉及到社會與自然的互動。20世紀90年代中期，他成為第一個建立綜合評估模型的人，即描述經濟和氣候之間全球相互作用的定量模型。它被用來檢驗氣候政策幹預的後果，例如碳稅。
