Yes, SUNY Binghamton should be a safety for you. You might want to look further for another safety though, one that you would be happy to attend. This thread may be helpful:

Definitely take advantage of EA wherever it is offered. An early acceptance is the best kind of safety, and lets you concentrate on reaches. (And an EA rejection lets you know that you need to apply to more match and safety schools.)

Some of the schools that sound like matches that you list are not good with financial aid, so may not be affordable for you.

Would you consider LACs? All LACs will offer Econ, and some have business. As as Asian male, you would be a URM at LACs, and many of the highly ranked LACs have excellent financial aid. For example, U. Richmond has a highly ranked undergrad business school and meets full need.
