The "evidence" is that it was not in his will. Where do you think we should draw the line on what could be called a Nobel price? It is not like Alfred Nobel did not understand economics, he just (highly probably) did not want such a price (or he would have created it).
If someone created a price for pedophile arts, brain studies of humans of lesser value, or other questionable "sciences" in the memory of Alfred Nobel, do you think we should call it a Nobel price? Do we have evidence that Nobel would disagree with such a price?
I would say we have no evidence, but it is highly unlikely that Alfred Nobel would like that. I think the question that should be asked is: do we have any evidence (or even any sign at all) that Alfred Nobel wanted a Nobel price in economics???
