Workgroups are no longer used for group communications, but they still are used to group articles into fields of interest. Each article is assigned to 1-3 Workgroups via the article's Metadata.

A CALL TO ECONOMICS AUTHORS AND EDITORS

We need much more activity on CZ with social science, and especially economics articles. A new author here, Nick Gardner, has made a heroic start with some core Economics articles. We transferred the text from the old article Economics to a new article History of economic thought which now requires massive editing to put it in shape. There are also some other articles which need attention. I propose listing articles into several categories, to guide us through the workload.

Please add any articles you would like to nominate for these groupings [and feel free to start work on them too!]


Core economics articles which are completely MISSING

International economics

Welfare economics

Comparative advantage

Economy of scale

Balance of payments

Terms of trade

Externalities

Elasticity

Markets

Supply

Demand

GNP or GDP


Core economics articles which are stubs or low quality

Factors of production

GDP deflator

Gross domestic product

Core economics articles which are good but need development to reach approval standard

Economics

Microeconomics

Macroeconomics


Economics articles which seem redundant but whose content may be useful for other articles

Economics subdisciplines


Economics articles which appear to be finished, of very high quality, and may be ready for formal Editor approval

Demographic transition



Below, I also paste a message from Nick, about his recent edits on some core economics articles. We hope that we can put together a really good economics coverage on CZ.--Martin Baldwin-Edwards 20:10, 23 September 2007 (CDT)

New articles

I have made a tentative start at writing new articles on Economics, Microeconomics and Macroeconomics.

I have aimed them at the ordinary reader seeking a broad appreciation of what it's about rather than at students of economics looking for help with their essays. I leave the task of meeting students' needs to those of you that are in the teaching profession. I suggest putting that material in a separate article titled (perhaps) " Economic Theory"

Please let me have your comments and criticisms.

Suggestions please!

Subject to comments, I have finished with Economics and nearly finished with Macroeconomics. I should appreciate some fellow-economists' comments before I turn to other things. Is anybody interested?
