Nice.

Synthesizing this list with Vaclav Smil's work would be cool. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaclav_Smil

Maybe use TRIZ as a starting point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIZ But recast to focus on econometrics.

I'm certain this already exists somewhere. Vaclav is pretty dry reading, like reading an almanac, so I didn't get very far into his works.
