'Ökonom' and 'Wirtschaftswissenschaftler' both mean something very similar: a person who has studied economics and deals with economic questions. 'Wirtschaftswissenschaftler' sounds a little more precise and emphasizes the subject or academic work. 'Ökonom' is shorter and is often used generally for experts in economics and economic analysis. In many normal sentences, the two words can be used interchangeably, especially when talking about professional assessments of economic topics.
