Well. Technically there is no Nobel Prize for Economics!
ReplyDeleteAh well..Navin and his stories..
Yeah, it's called the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel (Sveriges Riksbank is Sweden's Central Bank) and they started giving out the prize in the same year we became independent.
ReplyDeleteBut... Nobel Prize in Economics or Economics Nobel for short.
