== 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]]


'''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.--[[User:Martin Baldwin-Edwards|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.
