Morphology
The phrase combines 'economics' (the academic/disciplinary field) with 'profession' (the community of practitioners), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to the community or body of professional economists. There is no idiomatic or metaphorical shift and the construction is compositional and cross-linguistically common, making it readily understandable.
Etymology
Economics profession joins economics, the study of money, markets and how people make choices, with profession, a job that needs training. So imagine a group of trained people whose job is to study the economy; that's why it means 'the collective body of professional economists'.
