Those are not economists by trade nor profession. None of those people had PhDs in Econ. Never once were they called “economists”

Why does Asness' PhD in finance under Farmer not count, for example? Is a financial economist not an economist, i.e., things like the EMH are not part of economics? Why do you think their training in economics was irrelevant?
