It's true that Nobel did not include a price for economics. However, the price ('The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel') is still, right or wrong, associated with the Nobel Prize, since it's handed out at the same event, etc. Also, people tend to refer to it as the 'Nobel Prize in Economics' [however wrong that might be].
