'Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Memory of Alfred Nobel' is more or less a literal translation of the Swedish name, minus the part about 'in economic science' and whether or not you feel like translating the name of the Swedish royal bank.

Anyway, even the Nobel Foundation explicitly says it isn't a Nobel Prize:

> Not a Nobel Prize

> The prize in economic sciences is not a Nobel Prize.

It is an interesting detail, but I guess taht most most people will still refer to it colloquially as Nobel prize.

I think that point about the nature of the price doesn't diminish the point that was being made. As much as it is a call to authority, weight of opinion of someone rewarded with that price is bigger than random voice on the internet.

That being said I think this thread starting with unsubstantiated criticism of Paul Krugman ideas/opinions is not constructive and rather useless.

You were still wrong about the name.
