In Finnish there are different terms for people who study economics, roughly translated as economics and economical sciences. But apart from that, it is possible to specialize to economics if you study law or engineering, even psychology and social sciences.
A textbook example of this is Bengt Holmström who scored the 2016 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. He started his university career by studying mathematics, and now is a professor in Massachusetts Institute of Technology which has been ranked as the best school in the world for a number of times.
Given the numerous variations of how one may become an "economist", this project allows some latitude in the definition of an "economist". In other words, this project does not discriminate how one end's up to become and "economist" but still the term "economist" implies that a person has received a university level degree which qualifies one to be an "economist."
We would also be glad to include "from rags to riches" investment gurus and tycoons in the group, but in Finland we may have short supply of those. But a thick manila envelope to the founder of the group might open the doors to this group even for regular millionaires.
Beyond that, everybody who wants to collaborate in this group is welcome to join.Universitas Oeconomica Helsingiensis

Kauppatieteiden ylioppilas on alan opiskelijasta käytetty nimitys, joka ei siis ole tutkinto. Kauppatieteiden opiskelijan puhekielinen nimitys on kylteri. Kauppatieteiden maisterin tutkinnon suorittanut henkilö saa käyttää ekonomin arvoa.
Vuosina 1980–1995 ekonomi oli ylempi korkeakoulututkinto, jonka suorittanut sai ostaa kauppatieteiden maisterin arvon. Alempaa korkeakoulututkintoa ei tuolloin ollut.
Ennen vuotta 1980 puolestaan ekonomi oli alempi korkeakoulututkinto ja kauppatieteiden kandidaatti ylempi korkeakoulututkinto. Kauppatieteiden maisterin arvon saattoi ostaa.
Svenska Handelshögskolanissa ekonomin tutkintoa vastasi diplomiekonomin (dipl.ekon. ja DE) tutkinto. Alalla oli tuolloin myös muita alempia korkeakoulututkintoja: kirjeenvaihtaja, diplomikirjeenvaihtaja (Svenska Handelshögskolanissa) sekä akateeminen sihteeri.
Ja kaikki ovat toki tervetulleita tekemään yhteistyötä projektin tiimoilta. Universitas Oeconomica Helsingiensis
