Economics Tier 3 — Family Indexes
This is the Tier 3 (T3) Map of Content (MOC) for the Economics library. T3 notes are deep, catalog-style references — long enumerations of models, methods, laureates, and data sources that a working economics agent needs to look up but that don’t belong in a Tier 1 topic primer (see _index) or a Tier 2 specialty page. T3 answers “what are all the canonical macro models / econometric estimators / cross-country data sources” rather than “how does one specific result derive.” It exists so the named-entity facts that Tier 1 and Tier 2 reference — model assumptions, estimator conditions, index formulas, laureate contributions — have a single canonical home instead of being duplicated across primers.
