瑞典皇家科学院星期一发表声明说， 美国经济学家尤金.法马、拉尔斯.彼得.汉森以及罗伯特.席勒因为对“资产价格的实证分析”而获奖。

　　瑞典皇家科学院说，虽然很难准确预测未来几天或几周的股票和债券的价格，但这三位学者的研究使人们能够对三年到五年内的价格趋势进行预测。

　　法马和汉森在伊利诺伊州的芝加哥大学工作，席勒则是位于康涅狄克州的耶鲁大学教授。

　　Three American economists were awarded the Nobel Prize in economics for their work on determining how asset prices change over time.

　　The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, in a statement Monday, named Eugene Fama, Lars Peter Hansen and Robert Shiller as recipients of the 2013 award for their "empirical analysis of asset prices."

　　The academy said that while it is hard to predict the price of stocks and bonds over the next few days or weeks, the work by these economists make it possible to foresee the broad course of these prices over longer periods, such as the next three to five years.

　　Fama and Hansen are professors at the University of Chicago, in Illinios, while Shiller teaches at Yale University in Connecticut.
