I talked with the other CMs and we agree that the econ proposal won't actually overlap much with what you are trying. In particular, we hope it will be academically oriented in a way that Politics won't be. And I think expanding your scope (especially if it's a bit more technical in nature) would help out.

I have updated the On-Topic question thusly:

In short, let's try to keep these related to politics, but yes, ask away!
