Norwegian term

økonomiutdannet

FVA Norwegian to English Bus/Financial Education / Pedagogy
This term is used as an adjective to describe a person's educational background.

Any tips on a precise way of expressing this in English?
Would we say any of the following:

1. "with a background in economics"
2. "whose educational background was in economics"
3. "who had a degree in economics"

or
4. Would we just call the person an "economist"?

I would provide more context, but I don't dare use my client's source text on a public site. : )
Proposed translations (English)
3 trained in economics and finance

Proposed translations

trained in economics and finance

query: whether the subject is also qualified in either.

Another problem lies in the Scandinavian purport of the term of økonomi: it can extend to finance and supplies, even merchandising e.g. økonomisjef.
Example sentence:

Økonom er en samlebetegnelse på personer med høyere økonomisk-administrativ utdanning.

IATE: da refusion af billet uden økonomisk tab af den pris COM en ticket refunded without financial penalty
