You are quite right, thank you;
the "Economics" prize is actually
"The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences
in Memory of Alfred Nobel,"
but is apparently awarded by the same foundation,
and commonly referred to as "the Nobel Prize in economics"

A Canadian-born winner (while Professor at Columbia U. in USA):

"A seminal article on currency areas Robert Mundell wrote in 1961
has been credited as being a starting point for the theory behind the euro"

"Economics, named as a Nobel memorial prize,
was set up by the Swedish central bank in 1968
to commemorate its tricentennial.
It was first awarded the following year."

As to whether Alfred would have approved, I guess we can't know.
