Sir, Elinor Ostrom is not the first political scientist to win a Nobel economics prize (Letters, October 15). Herbert Simon, who got his PhD in political science at the University of Chicago in 1943, won it in 1978. James Buchanan (1986) was also a political scientist.
Actually, the prize is awarded in "economic sciences" and includes political scientists, psychologists and mathematicians.
