JEL top-level code A: general economic concepts, principles and pedagogy that do not belong to one specialized subfield, plus the discipline's own history of teaching and the economics profession itself. Belongs here: introductory or cross-cutting concepts that every subfield relies on rather than one subfield alone. Does not belong here: a concept with a clear specialized home in one of the other nineteen codes, even a widely used one; general applicability alone does not make a concept belong in A over a more specific code.
