To what extent does gross private domestic investment determine the rate of growth?

The article on gross private domestic investment says it "is an important component of GDP because it provides an indicator of the future productive capacity of the economy." To what extent does GPDI actually determine the rate of growth?

Please answer at Talk:Economic growth#To what extent does gross private domestic investment determine the rate of growth? thanks. EllenCT (talk)

Stephen Salant notable?

came across Stephen Salant article, appears written by a StephenSalant in 2010, appears he is most likely not notable by the guidelines going by the "Average Professor Test", but I have no background in economics, maybe someone can take a look if anything he is connected to makes the article worth keeping BenErroneous (talk) 05:54, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

He's professor emeritus at UMich (above average) with an h-index (33) that's fine but not remarkable for an economist.

IMO you could reasonably argue to either keep or delete his page. But probably it shouldn't be kept in its current form (correctly flagged autobiographical)—should be rewritten so it doesn't look quite so much like his CV. Themrbeaumont (talk) 10:48, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Improving Lev Gatovsky's page to its potential

Hi!

I'm a recent user of Wikipedia, and for the last couple of months I've been working on the article about the soviet economist Lev Gatovsky. The reason I got interested in the first place was that the article (a stub at that moment) had only one sentence stating that he had been the first economist to create a theoretical framework for the Soviet Union's economy. But when I searched for him almost nothing appeared. The fact that someone that seemed to have been this important had no imprint on the web got my curiosity.

Since then I have discovered that although he was not the first one, he was one of the firsts to analyze the soviet system from a economic /political-economy perspective. And more: he was the director of the Institute of Economics of the USSR Academy of Sciences for 6 years; him and others got fired from a political magazine by direct order of Stalin for including perspectives that contradicted the party's view; he collaborated on the elaboration of the first and second five-year plans; he also was the main editor of the first "Political Economy" manual of the Soviet Union; volunteered in the 2nd world war, etc. etc.

The difficulty with this author is finding material written directly by him, as some of them only exist in physical form (books, journals, etc.) and most of what can be found online are other authors talking about him. Still, there are plenty of books mentioning him as well as articles in russian from the time (that can be translated online), which kind of indicates the relevance it had. I also have a list of materials I know / suspect that have to do with him but I havent had the time to look at yet.

I've been working on this alone for the moment, and with some superficial research I managed to get plenty of interesting material (economic, political, and historic). I am sure that with more people doing research, translating, and summarizing, we could make this article truly great.

I hope I managed to get your interest and so you decide to help. Thanks in advance! FranGallego33 (talk) 15:44, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Economic imperialism

Hi, I've created a draft at Draft:Economic imperialism as this seems to be a big omission in wikipedia's coverage, and was wondering whether anyone would be interested in collaborating to write and structure it, including defining scope and gathering sources. Economic imperialism currently links to Theory of imperialism. Alexanderkowal (talk) 11:25, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Economics of biodiversity

Hi all, I have been making some changes to the page Economics of biodiversity since it had not been updated for a while and was lacking in references. I was wondering if someone with an economics background would be interested in helping to improve the article to reflect the debate on economic valuation of biodiversity.

Create a category for professional societies of economists?

There are about 10 societies of economists in Category:Business and finance professional associations. That's not quite where they belong, e.g. for societies that are made up mainly of academics not addressing business or finance. We could create a new category for "Economics-related professional associations". It would go into Category:Professional associations by profession, parallel to the business/finance one, and to a natural set of peers in the fields of psychology, architecture, and geography. I would like a more concise name like "Economist societies" or "Societies of economists" but it seemed to make sense to follow the naming system established by parallel groups. Any thoughts? The next step, I think, is to check with category specialists at Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion, and if there are no objections there, to just create it. -- econterms (talk) 17:22, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

The Center on Race, Poverty and the Environment

Perhaps someone from this WikiProject could take a look at The Center on Race, Poverty and the Environment and assess it (particularly with respect to WP:NORG and WP:NOBLE). The article was created directly in the main space by a student participating in a WP:WEP affiliated university course; so, it never really underwent any type of formal assessment (e.g. WP:AFC) and it doesn't seem to have yet been reviewed by WP:NPP. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:04, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
