I've added some initial discussion of the contributions of Prof. Hélène Rey here: [1]. There's a lot more that can be added, if anyone's familiar with her work and contributions.

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)

Reorientating the Wikipedia Degrowth article

Instead of my original idea, I have added two sections 'Evidence of the Degrowth Mindset Shift', with lots of relevant references. Than an explanation about 'The Carrying Capacity of Earth'. I would be grateful if someone could revisit my draft Wikipedia article about the 'UN Charter for Ecological Justice', so that I can link these two related topics. .

This doesn't look appropriate to me, it has serious WP:N and WP:NPOV issues. The article Degrowth could indeed use some work, but I don't think this is the right step at this point. - CRGreathouse (t | c) 14:11, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

I agree and have written something similar on the talk page of Degrowth now. EMsmile (talk) 21:19, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Indeed, WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY is central. - CRGreathouse (t | c) 02:23, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

please see alternative approach applied in situ Bbwilliams (talk) 16:09, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

That's an improvement, but still not suitable as written, kind of a WP:SYNTHesis. But I can definitely see this material being used to improve the article. Why don't you take this to the article's Talk page and see if you can hash something out? - CRGreathouse (t | c) 20:24, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for this advice. I intend to negotiate forward on the Degrowth talk page. Bbwilliams (talk) 08:27, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Degrowth and Eco-economic decoupling articles

Moved from the project page to the talk page, content by User:Bbwilliams:

"I have added a paragraph covering I=PAT and Jevons paradox, into the article 'Eco-economic decoupling'. See relevant talk page for details.

I am also suggesting a more lenient approach to the Degrowth entry, to allow folks to more fully understand this paradigm shift in thinking and why it is urgently needed. Details are in this free Medium article, you will need to sign into medium to access it https://medium.com/@barbarawilliams1/wikipedia-degrowth-entry-43092da38044" EMsmile (talk) 07:56, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Eyes on new user’s edits

The editing behaviour of this user is worrying. Large amount of text, which is undue or unrelated to the subjects, is being copied to many different pages. Much cleanup maybe needed. --Dustfreeworld (talk) 03:55, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Help beefing up Gig economy

This was in article space for a month and a half before being redirected to Temporary work for a year and a half and gig worker for 4 years. Since the gig economy is composed of corporate entities, gig workers and customers, we need to distinguish this article from gig workers. This will appear on the main page in a couple of weeks or months in the WP:DYK section. Please help beef it up.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:40, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

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)
