Again just to clarify, if you read Kahneman's own words he says he is not an economist but a psychologist.

The Nobel "Memorial" prize by the bank of Sweden was awarded to him. Its what he calls himself that I am talking about, not what some Bank in Sweden is calling him.

Btw, says something about Economics as a field that it chose to name its top most award in way it will be confused with the true prizes set up by Nobel himself. Not the case, for example, with Math or others.
