Economics

About this course

Economics is one of the most versatile and intellectually rigorous of academic disciplines, concerned with how societies make decisions about the allocation of scarce resources and the consequences of those decisions. It examines the behaviour of individuals, firms, and governments through a combination of theoretical modelling and empirical analysis, and it has developed powerful frameworks for understanding markets, trade, inequality, growth, and the effects of policy. The questions economics addresses, from why poverty persists to how monetary policy affects employment, are among the most important facing the world today.
