Jostein Hauge, a Cambridge economist, pointed out that from 1969 to 2025, none of the 99 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences winners listed a mainland Chinese affiliation, sparking lively discussion. Some blame bias toward Western free-market ideas and exclusion of critics or state-led models, while others stress the award rewards theoretical work with a long impact lag, not policy outcomes. Chinese success, they note, came from pragmatic reforms like Deng Xiaoping's rather than prize-winning theories, highlighting tensions between global economic power and academic recognition.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

China's rise to the world's second-largest economy has lifted millions from poverty, yet no economist from a mainland institution has claimed the Nobel in economics.
