Well, for what my thoughts are worth (and with my thoughts and two  
bob you
can make a phone call --- well, you *used* to be able to) I would  
suggest
that you list the author as ``The Economist''.  Then the citation in
your paper would look like The Economist (2007) --- which looks O.K.
to me.

But what do *I* know?
