If it is from a top-3 national program, would an Inf. Sys. management Masters program make any sense, or would no one hire me because my undergraduate degree is in economics? (about 50% of their students do have less than 1 year of full-time work experience)

Additional qualifications can never hurt you. Plus, trust me, if you're getting a M.S. in anything you'll definitely make up for the lack of a undergraduate background in that field. Just having the M.S. shows that you're equipped to learn what you don't know. As I see it, if I was hiring an economist, a little technical expertise would, if anything, be a plus (maybe you can write your own code for simulations, or you better understand the technology used to help you make decisions) - then again, I don't work in economics, so maybe another poster can validate this. Plus, to top it all off, in case you couldn't get a job in economics, then you have a fallback - computer programming/administration. A developer/administrator with a little business education is always a plus (you are better equipped to make economically smart decisions - better cost/value and/or better futureproofing), and it makes you a stronger candidate should you choose to become management at any point.
