The economics prize is not one of the original prizes that were specified in Alfred Nobel’s will in 1895. It was established in 1968 by Sweden’s central bank, Sveriges Riksbank, to celebrate the bank’s 300th birthday. The full name of the prize is the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. Although it is administered by the Nobel Foundation and awarded at the same time as the other prizes, it is actually funded by the central bank, rather than from the Nobel foundation’s funds.
