Explanation: 
The chronological order of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for the listed economists is as follows:

  • Gunnar Myrdal (1974): Awarded jointly with Friedrich Hayek for their pioneering work in the theory of money and economic fluctuations.
  • Milton Friedman (1976): Awarded for his achievements in the fields of consumption analysis, monetary history and theory, and demonstration of the complexity of stabilization policy.
  • Arthur Lewis (1979): Awarded jointly with Theodore Schultz for their pioneering research into economic development research with particular consideration of the problems of developing countries (Lewis Model).
  • Lawrence Klein (1980): Awarded for the creation of econometric models and the application to the analysis of economic fluctuations and economic policies.
  • Abhijit Vinayak Banerjee (2019): Awarded jointly with Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer for their experimental approach to alleviating global poverty.

Information Booster:

  • Dual Sector Model: Sir Arthur Lewis is best known for the "Lewis Model," which explains the transition of labor from the subsistence (agricultural) sector to the capitalist (industrial) sector.
  • Monetarism: Milton Friedman challenged Keynesian economics, famously stating, "Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon."
  • Randomized Control Trials (RCTs): Abhijit Banerjee revolutionized development economics by using field experiments (RCTs) to test the effectiveness of social policies.

Additional Information:

  • Asian Drama: Gunnar Myrdal is also famous for his book "Asian Drama: An Inquiry into the Poverty of Nations," analyzing poverty in South Asia.
  • Project LINK: Lawrence Klein initiated this project to integrate econometric models from different countries to study the transmission of international business cycles.
