There is no such thing as a "Nobel prize for economics". Alfred Nobel knew "economics" to be a cheap game for third-rate conmen. This "Prize" is a "memorial prize" in his memory, paid for by a bank in the 1970s because they were sad they couldn't win a real Nobel prize for their joke of a "discipline".
