Using models to show the failure of policy-makers in measuring the true impact of global warming, Nordhaus has made pioneering strides in bringing the impact of climate change into long-run macroeconomic analysis.

Meanwhile, Romer was awarded for his Endogenous Growth Theory that shows that economic growth is generated by internal, rather than external factors. Romer's work has major implications on national economic policies.
