The Nobel Prizes in different fields that are awarded are the most prestigious awards in the world. The prizes were established in accordance to the will of Alfred Nobel, Swedish chemist, who invented dynamite. The prizes instituted in 1901 according to his will were for Physics, Chemistry, Physiology, Literature, and Peace. The prize commonly known as the Nobel Prize in Economics is actually the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel which was established in 1968.
