What the college says

What is Economics? Will I be a good economist? If economists know what they are talking about then why are there so many problems out there? Questions, questions! Economics is a broad subject made up of what is referred to as ‘Microeconomics’ and ‘Macroeconomics’: • Microeconomics is the branch of economics concerned with the study of the behaviour of consumers and firms and Microeconomic analysis investigates how scarce economic resources are allocated between alternative ends • Macroeconomics on the other hand looks at how the economy as a whole‘works’. It seeks to identify the main influences upon the levels of national income and output, employment and prices
