There is No Nobel Prize for Economics: There is a Bank Prize for Economics Named after Alfred Nobel
We’re not sure why this fact has been ignored by the world and media – as well as major universities. Why has this not been fact-checked? Why has this misstatement been institutionalized?
We learned the following from Linked In contributors: “There is no Nobel Prize in Economics. The Prize that is typically referred to as the Economics Nobel is actually a prize given by the Swedish National Bank in honour of Alfred Nobel. This prize was not founded by Nobel himself. The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel has been awarded 42 times to 67 Laureates between 1969 and 2010”
