I mean anybody can understand what it’s trying to say. Almost anybody who actually does math though would just have no operators between those variables.
It’s been a long time, but isn’t this the default for the Graphical Formula Editor in Microsoft Word? (As in you could just use the * operator and word would print it as-is, not replace it with the multiplication sign)
What offends me most about this is using the convolution operator * for multiplication in a typeset equation

Any symbol can be chosen for any variable including operations. It depends entirely on context.
I doubt economists use the convolution operator in this context or probably ever.

Huh I didn’t realize that economics have their own version of math /s

I don’t hate myself enough to use microsoft software, so idk
