Thanks bsd_lover, I had seen this page, but was wondering if there is a list which specifies which electives for which concentrations.
The electives on this page are grouped as well, but each group does not qualify as a concentration, is that right ?

Aaah you will get that spreadsheet towards the end of the first term (along with a full blown debriefing on how to go about picking those electives). LBS does not work on a bidding system. You just state your preferences about which course you want and when you want to do it. You can start taking electives straight after second term (although the electives available to first year students is limited to only the most popular and useful ones and the ones that you have completed the prerequisites for). Information on the feedback for a particular course from past years is also available in the library so that you can assess which course works for you. It is a little Darwinian in the sense that the courses survive on the basis of demand and if a professor does a poor job, the demand goes down and down every successive year, until the course dies out (or improves).
The other interesting thing about electives is that they are available in three formats: day, evening and block week. This gives you the flexibility to really load up on these electives early if you want to finish in 15 months. The other thing to note is that although you can only do 12 electives maximum, if you have waivers in first year, you can use these waivers to take extra electives. Theoretically you can waive Statistics, Corporate Finance, Micro Economics, Accounting (and perhaps others) and then do one elective in place of the waived paper (leading to 16 or more electives).
The reason why I'm explaining this at such lengths is that these choices help determine your major / concentration. If hypothetically you can do more than 12 electives then hypothetically you can target more courses that could give you a broader major.
Not quite sure why they provide that information so late and why it is not available publicly. Perhaps they don't want to encourage people to be waiving out of too many core courses. It is at these core courses esp in the first term that you form the strong bonds with your study groups.
ps. I know I'm not answering your original question about which elective can be used for which major. But that is because I'm not sure whether the information that I have this year will be relevant next year.
