The prize is the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. It was not one of the prizes established by Nobel. This prize was created in 1968. It is not a Nobel Prize, and should not be called a "Nobel Prize". This should not be interpreted as a judgment on the work of Professor McCloskey, which I am not as familiar with as I would like to be.
