Maybe, but you never know with these things. I'm sure there is more to this result than a simple line chart from the first pass of analysis. That being said, the numerous comments pointing how that the Bank of Sweden prize in Economics is not a real Noble Prize don't come from nowhere. A lot of people (like Alfred Noble) are generally unimpressed with the quality of work that economists produce. Last week a woman was awarded the Nobel prize in medicine for figuring out an entirely new method of vaccination that ended a global pandemic. This result feels more like a fun data science blog post.

Hmm yeah that last sentence resonates.
