Ekonomi Nobel Ödülleri
Alfred Nobel:Isvec'li kimyaci (Stockholm 1833-San remo 1896). Ogrenimini Petersburg'da yapti, 1859'da Stockholm'e dondu.1863'de Stockholm yakinlarinda, Heleneborg'da bulunan kucuk bir laboratuvarda cok az miktarda nitrogilserin uretmeye basladi; ancak bu laboratuvar birkac ay sonra bir patlamayla yikildi ve kardesi Emil oldu. 1865'de Vinterviken'de (Isvec), daha sonra da Hamburg yakinlarinda, Krummel'de yeni fabrikalar kurdu. Bu arada patlayicilari inceledi ve 1864'de nitrogliserinin patlamasinin civa fülminatla baslatilabilecegini kesfetti. Bu sirada uc birim agirlikta nitrogliserini, bir birim agirlikta toz haline getirilmis komur yada kizelgur gibi gozenekli bir maddeye emdirebilecegini dusundu; sivi nitrogliserinden daha kullanisli ve daha az tehlikeli olan bu patlayici karisima "dinamit barutu" adini verdi.1875'de, nitrogliserini nitrat pamuguna emdirerek dinamit lokumunu yapti.1887'de, "dumansiz barut" adini verdigi ve esit miktarlarda nitrogliserinle nitroseluloz karisiminden olusan, itici bir barut buldu. Birkac yil sonra kordit adli patlayici madde konusunda ingiliz hükümeti aleyhine dava acti, ancak davayi kaybetti. 1873'ten sonra hemen hemen tumuyle Paris'e yerlesen Nobel, 1881'de Sevran'da bir laboratuvar kurdu ve barutlar uzerine calismalarini burada surdurdu. 1890'da laboratuvarini San Remo'ya tasidi. Bir vasiyetle, hemen hemen tum servetini yilda bes odul verilmesi icin birakti. Alfred Nobel'in vasiyeti uzerine kurulan bu odullerin sayisi baslangicta besti (fizik, kimya, psikoloji ve tip, edebiyat, baris). 1968'de Isvec Bankasi Alfred Nobel'in anisina bir "ekonomi odulu" ihdas etti. Fizik, kimya ve ekonomi dalindaki Nobel Odulleri Isvec Bilimler Akademisi, psikoloji ve tip dalindaki odul Stockholm Karolin Enstitusu, edebiyat odulu Stockholm Akademisi, Nobel baris odulu ise Norvec Storling'inin sectigi bes kisilik bir komisyon tarafindan verilir.NOBEL EKONOMİ ÖDÜLLERİ1969Ragnar Frisch (Norwegian) and Jan Tinbergen (Dutch) for their work in econometrics, a method of analyzing economic activity.1970Paul A.
