    May I also suggest taking a look at the corpus of English in Business
    Studies & Economics, by Gregory James and James Purchase (1996), from
    the Language Centre at the Hong Kong University of Science and
    Technology? The items are arranged alphabetically and by frequency
    according to subjects such as Accounting, General Business, Economics,
    Finance, Law, Marketing, Management, Management Information Systems and
    Statistics.
    Cheers,
    Alejandro
