The search_path isn't correct. You're looking for the size of tables
in schema 'econ' but you don't mention this schema inside the function
pg_relation_size(). Try to use the schemanames as well, saves you a
lot of problems with assumptions.

This one should work:

SELECT
tablename,
pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(schemaname || '.' || tablename))
FROM
pg_tables
WHERE
schemaname = 'econ';

Kind regard,
Frank
