Nobel Win for Editorial Board Member Joel Mokyr

We are pleased to extend our congratulations to Joel Mokyr, a member of the Essays in Economic and Business History editorial board, for receiving the 2025 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, alongside Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt.

This year’s award honors their influential work on innovation, technological change, and long-run economic growth. Professor Mokyr’s scholarship has been central to advancing our understanding of the Industrial Revolution, the institutional conditions that enabled it, and the broader cultural evolution of knowledge economies.

As a journal at the intersection of economics and history, we are proud to count Professor Mokyr among our editorial leadership. His Nobel recognition highlights the importance of historical inquiry in addressing modern economic questions.

We welcome submissions that contribute to this tradition. The journal publishes research in economic and business history using both quantitative and qualitative methods. We also encourage methodological and historiographical pieces that engage with ongoing scholarly debates.

Submissions are welcome for the following sections:

• Articles: Full-length original research contributions
• Book Reviews: Reviews of recent scholarly work in the field
