New traditional economy[edit]

Unused except by the Rossners in their works; GS shows essentially only their own papers or the title of such a paper when used in a citation. If substantial use can be shown otherwise, it should be documented in the article. DGG (talk) 01:56, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to J. Barkley Rosser, Jr., since this is only person who seems to have written on the topic. Tim Vickers (talk) 05:30, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A merge seems fine to me. Rosser has been published in the Journal of Economic Perspectives which is one of the most respected economics journals, so it's not that he's off on some fringe, just that the terminology he uses hasn't caught on. I'd agree that transition economy doesn't adequately capture what's happening in Iran. But unless the phrase enters widespread use, it can just redirect to his article (which mentions the phrase and that this is an area he writes about.) --JayHenry (t) 20:15, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Redirect as above, smerge optional. This is a plausible search term. --Dhartung | Talk 00:52, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree about keeping the redirect and making sure its mentioned in the Rosser article. DGG (talk) 05:51, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would say that this should be either kept or merged as a section to Traditional economy. I attend a major institution in the field of economics and we have been including New traditional economy in our cirriculum since the early part of the decade. --Finalnight (talk) 16:51, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
