Economics helps us to explain the behavior of people, business and markets and make smarter decisions. By studying economics you'll learn how to apply data, statistics and theory to create models and forecasts to influence business or government policy.
Within economics you can learn about or specialise in econometrics which applies statistics to economic data, so you can use real-world data to assess economic theory.
