Hopefully coding will help the project retrieve for more data. Humans will
be important to retrieve data from hard to find places (government
publications, Google, etc.). I imagine that both humans and bots will help
edit the project.
The point of the project is to present economic information in a way that
is understandable to average human being. The project is designed to be
educational and simple. Economists can help determine better ways to
present the information too. The economy is such an important part of our
society and I believe it deserves it's own wiki project.
What do you mean by the 'output' needs to be designed?

If all it does (and that would still be a lot!) is to

data from machine-readable sources like Wikidata, I don't see the point for
a project - some code can do that on its own just fine.
Now, the output needs to be designed, and the numbers need to be kept
up-to-date; at least the former will require humans at the wheel. What else
would have to be done by humans?

In my opinion, Wikidata and the Global Economic
Map would complimentary
sister projects. The Global Economic Map provides a standardized format

present economic information. Wikidata will help
collect the data, but
the
Global Economic Map is the best way to present
economic data. It's
similar
to Wikispecies in this regard. There should be a
separate Wiki project to
map out economic information in the world.
Does this make senses?

Here is the United States:

edit existing country reports? I am contacting
