All Laureates
David Card
Canada,
United States of America
for his empirical contributions to labour economics
Donna Strickland
Canada
for the development of a method for generating high-intensity, ultra-short laser pulses
Arthur B. McDonald
Canada
for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass (Nucl. Phys. B-Proc. Suppl. 77 (1999) 123 〈Kajita〉, 43 〈McDonald〉)
Manjul Bhargava,
Canada

Canada
for his discovery of the dendritic cell and its role in adaptive immunity
Willard Boyle
United States of America,
Canada
for the invention of an imaging semiconductor circuit – the CCD sensor
Robert Mundell
Canada
for his analysis of monetary and fiscal policy under different exchange rate regimes and his analysis of optimum currency areas
Myron Scholes
Canada
for "a new method to determine the value of derivatives", the development and theoretical justification of the Black–Scholes option-pricing model
William Vickrey
United States of America,
Canada
for their fundamental contributions to the economic theory of incentives under asymmetric information
Joni Mitchell
