Economics is the study of the economy at the micro and macro levels. Areas of interest to economists include the behaviour of consumers and business firms, the labour market, health care, the environment, technology and innovation, economic growth and development, monetary and fiscal policy, international trade and finance, and the global economy.
Students taking an Economics major will study the theory, policies, practices and institutions of national economies and the international economy. They will learn tools of analysis that can be applied to a wide range of economic issues.
