Nordhaus, a professor at Yale University, and Romer of New York University's Stern School of Business, have addressed "some of our time's most basic and pressing questions about how we create long-term sustained and sustainable growth," the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said in a statement.
They will share the 9-million-kronor ($1.01 million) prize.
The award that concludes this year's series of Nobel prizes came about seven decades after the others.
