Figure 17:
Science Nobel Prizes per science laureate by citizenship 1901-2009:
In the beginning of the century most laureates got a full prize;
in the end most got just a fraction thereof. That's why
Germany's mostly older laureates on average got larger
shares than the mostly younger ones of the US.
