Didn't that one go to the Greek minister of economy?
But hey, at least it wasn't the Nobel prize for economics, now that'd have been a joke award.
Yes, I believe the research is titled "Growing an economy de novo, an empirical approach" by E. Stavros Blofeld (I believe his mother was Greek). The prize was actually awarded for the first chapter of his work: "Constructing a de novo economy". Considering how successful he has been, I eagerly await his next installment!
