Hall and Michael Woodford have been awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for research on how the decisions of people and firms affect the stability of the entire economy. Prof. Marek Ko\u015bny, Prof. Stanis\u0142aw Czaja and Prof. Krzysztof Jajuga of the Wroclaw University of Economics and Business commented on the prize in the media. They explained why the effects of interest rate changes and support programmes depend on people\u2019s expectations and trust in the state, and why economic policy needs to look further ahead than a single electoral cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a detailed account of the WUEB experts\u2019 comments and the prize-winning research, visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
