Nobel Economics Prize Goes to Columbia Professor

Michael Woodford of Columbia University was one of two Americans awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics, a distinction announced as NPR's Ailsa Chang sat down with him for a conversation about pricing. The interview aired Tuesday, October 13, 2026, on All Things Considered, with audio slated to become available later in the day.

The segment, titled "What an economics Nobel Prize winner knows about pricing," centered on Woodford's expertise in how prices are set and what that means for the broader economy. Chang conducted the discussion for NPR's National desk.
