Is this good English? I'm not well versed in economic jargon, so I've never heard this.

Thanks. I'm editing the master's thesis of a Korean student whose English is less than optimal. So on the one hand, I trusted that his expertise in economics far surpassed my own, but I also doubted his ability to express his expertise in cromulent English. I will leave this expression alone, I think.

You could double-check with fugu. He has both econ and English knowledge. ;)
