As an econ prof, I am going to make it an infractable offense to doubt its Nobelity Smiley))

It's official name is the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.

That said, economics is not the only addition that would be worthy to the pantheon of Nobel and quasi-Nobel prizes.

Architecture, Agriculture, Cinema, and Mathematics would all be worthy additions.

Wouldn't it be redundant to have a Mathematics prize with the Fields Medal?

No, as the recipient of the Fields must be no older than 40, and it is awarded only once every four years.  It could be considered redundant to the Abel Prize, which is awarded yearly, has no age restriction, and has a prize amount comparable to  the Nobel Prizes.
