It would be extremely useful to be able to look at the links to and from all these articles as a group, to see where economics is referenced elsewhere in the wikipedia, and perhaps improve the links to be to more exact concepts, or more introductory ones, as appropriate.
Also, it would be even more useful just to look at the redirects and vocabulary of the articles as a whole, so that an economic glossary could be assembled.
That would help to put together a list of one-liner definitions, such as list of Islamic terms in Arabic is doing. That can't happen if we aren't sure which concepts are basic, and part of a defining vocabulary.
Removed from page as I'm not sure it's relevant:
Should we remove accounting, accounting reform, and growth accounting from this list? I vote : Yes, remove them.
As for list of ethics topics, I don't think that belongs here either. I agree that there are ethical considerations to business and economic decisions, like there are to all aspects of life. But does that mean we should include links to list of ethics topics in all articles. If we include the ethics link, we will have to include links to hundred of somewhat related topics like law, government, ect. user:mydogategodshat
The links to lists of finance, management, marketing, and accounting have a place on the page because they are CLOSELY related.
What do you think?
OK,growth accounting and accounting reform have significant economic content. As for the accounting article, I assume that was included because financial accounting techniques underlie the macroeconomic system of national accounts. I think that is a bit of a stretch. - - user:mydogategodshat

I'm putting together a new WikiProject and I saw that some projects have a consolidated Index of articles (a useful thing) but I could not find a tool or a template to do that very basic job. I have a doubt here: please do not tell me that Wikipedia would be crazy enough to create and maintain those indexes by hand because I won't believe you... -- Alainr345 ( talk) 21:48, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was move them

Index of statistics articles →
List of statistics articles — Most lists are called "List of -". There are probably other pages that start with "Index of -". This is to standardize articles and naming.
