Economics

About this course

Economics examines how individuals, firms, and governments make decisions in a world of scarce resources, and what the consequences of those decisions are for markets, welfare, and society. It is a discipline that combines theoretical modelling with empirical investigation, using mathematics, statistics, and data analysis alongside historical and institutional understanding to explain how economies function and why they sometimes fail. Studying economics develops analytical rigour, quantitative literacy, and a capacity for clear reasoning about complex systems that is valued across a wide range of careers. At the University of East Anglia, this three-year full-time programme covers the core areas of microeconomics and macroeconomics, alongside econometrics and the application of economic reasoning to a range of policy and real-world questions.
