Currently we have the following economy-related tags (please let me know if I forgot any):
- economics (33 questions, 2 followers)
- finance (35 questions, 1 follower)
- business (17 questions, 0 followers)
- prices (12 questions, 0 followers)
- companies (11 questions, 0 followers)
- industry (9 questions, 0 followers)
- nonprofit (6 questions, 2 followers)
- taxes (6 questions, 0 followers)
corporations (5 questions, 0 followers)→ merged into companies and nonprofit- irs (4 questions, 0 followers)
- trade (2 questions, 0 followers)
- cpi (2 questions, 0 followers)
- income (2 questions, 0 followers)
Neither of those (except nonprofit, cpi and irs) have a tag wiki, so it can be hard to tell which of them should be used for a given question.
In addition, economics is defined by Wikipedia as the social science that studies economic activity
. I'm pretty sure that many of the current economics questions are not related to academic research in any way — maybe economy would be a better fit?
Any suggestions about how we can bring a little bit of order into this economic confusion would be much appreciated!
