> What makes you think they don’t? The article states that the Nobel committee only looks at scholarly academic theories in economy, and from that perspective, Dr. Manmohan Singh may not meet its criteria as he hasn't advanced any new study or theory on the subject that generated academic interest. What he has done is to use what he studied and apply them to craft effective policies - I guess that falls outside the purview of their interest in scholarly / academic study on the subject.
