In 1978, Nash was awarded the [[John von Neumann Theory Prize]] for his discovery of non-cooperative equilibria, now called Nash Equilibria. He won the [[Leroy P. Steele Prize]] in 1999.

In 1994, he received the [[Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences]] (along with [[John Harsanyi]] and [[Reinhard Selten]]) for his [[game theory]] work as a Princeton graduate student.<ref>Nasar (2002), p. xiii.</ref> In the late 1980s, Nash had begun to use email to gradually link with working mathematicians who realized that he was {{em|the}} John Nash and that his new work had value. They formed part of the nucleus of a group that contacted the [[Bank of Sweden]]'s Nobel award committee and were able to vouch for Nash's mental health and ability to receive the award.<ref>{{cite journal|title=The Work of John Nash in Game Theory|journal=Nobel Seminar|date=December 8, 1994|url=https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/economic-sciences/laureates/1994/nash-lecture.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130810134711/https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/economic-sciences/laureates/1994/nash-lecture.pdf|archive-date=August 10, 2013|access-date=May 29, 2015}}</ref>

Nash's later work involved ventures in advanced game theory, including partial agency, which show that, as in his early career, he preferred to select his own path and problems. Between 1945 and 1996, he published 23 scientific papers.

Nash has suggested hypotheses on mental illness. He has compared not thinking in an acceptable manner, or being "insane" and not fitting into a usual social function, to being "on [[Strike action|strike]]" from an economic point of view. He advanced views in [[evolutionary psychology]] about the potential benefits of apparently nonstandard behaviors or roles.<ref>{{cite web |last=Neubauer |first=David |date=June 1, 2007 |url=http://health.yahoo.com/experts/depression/8207/john-nash-and-a-beautiful-mind-on-strike/ |title=John Nash and a Beautiful Mind on Strike |website=Yahoo!

Nash criticized [[Keynesian economics|Keynesian ideas]] of [[monetary economics]] which allowed for a [[central bank]] to implement [[Monetary policy|monetary policies]].<ref name=":0" /> He proposed a standard of "Ideal Money" pegged to an "industrial consumption [[price index]]" which was more stable than "bad money." He noted that his thinking on money and the function of [[Ministry of finance|monetary authority]] paralleled that of economist [[Friedrich Hayek]].{{sfnm|1a1=Nash|1y=2002a}}<ref name=":0">Zuckerman, Julia (April 27, 2005) [http://www.browndailyherald.com/2005/04/27/nobel-winner-nash-critiques-economic-theory/ "Nobel winner Nash critiques economic theory"].

Nash received an honorary degree, Doctor of Science and Technology, from [[Carnegie Mellon University]] in 1999, an honorary degree in economics from the [[University of Naples Federico II]] in 2003,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/2003/03/19/napoli-laurea-nash-il-genio-dei-numeri.html |title=Napoli, laurea a Nash il 'genio dei numeri' |date=March 19, 2003 |publisher=la Repubblica.it |first=Patrizia |last=Capua |language=it}}</ref> an honorary doctorate in economics from the [[University of Antwerp]] in 2007, an honorary doctorate of science from the [[City University of Hong Kong]] in 2011,<ref name = cs-slate-2001-12>{{Cite news |first=Chris |last=Suellentrop |title=A Real Number |url=http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2001/12/a_real_number.single.html |magazine=[[Slate (magazine)|Slate]] |date=December 21, 2001| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140104104531/http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2001/12/a_real_number.single.html| archive-date = January 4, 2014| url-status = live| access-date = May 28, 2015 |quote=''A Beautiful Mind's'' John Nash is nowhere near as complicated as the real one.}}</ref> and was keynote speaker at a conference on game theory.<ref>{{cite web|title=Nobel Laureate John Nash to Visit HK|url=http://www.china.org.cn/english/scitech/55597.htm|website=china.org.cn|access-date=January 7, 2017}}</ref> Nash also received honorary doctorates from two West Virginia colleges: the University of Charleston in 2003 and West Virginia University Tech in 2006. He was a prolific guest speaker at a number of events, such as the Warwick Economics Summit in 2005, at the [[University of Warwick]].

Nash was elected to the [[American Philosophical Society]] in 2006<ref>{{Cite web|title=APS Member History |url=https://search.amphilsoc.org/memhist/search?creator=John+F.+Nash&title=&subject=&subdiv=&mem=&year=&year-max=&dead=&keyword=&smode=advanced |access-date=May 25, 2021|website=search.amphilsoc.org}}</ref> and became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society in 2012.<ref>[https://www.ams.org/profession/fellows-list List of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society].

On May 19, 2015, a few days before his death, Nash, along with [[Louis Nirenberg]], was awarded the 2015 [[Abel Prize]] by King [[Harald V of Norway]] at a ceremony in Oslo.<ref>{{cite web |title=2015: Nash and Nirenberg |url=https://abelprize.no/abel-prize-laureates/2015 |access-date=August 2, 2022 |website=abelprize.no }}</ref>
