经济学文学学士

经济学是对社会，政府，企业，家庭和个人如何分配稀缺资源的研究。我们的学科具有两个重要特征。首先，我们开发行为的概念模型，以预测对政策和市场条件变化的反应。其次，我们使用严格的统计分析来调查这些变化。经济学家以就经济问题向总统和国会提供建议，在美联储制定政策以及分析投资银行，经纪行，房地产公司和其他私营部门业务的经济状况而闻名。它们还为许多其他公共政策的发展做出了贡献，包括医疗保健，福利和学校改革以及减少不平等，污染和犯罪的努力。
Economics is the study of how societies, governments, businesses, households, and individuals allocate their scarce resources. Our discipline has two important features. First, we develop conceptual models of behavior to predict responses to changes in policy and market conditions. Second, we use rigorous statistical analysis to investigate these changes. Economists are well known for advising the president and congress on economic issues, formulating policies at the Federal Reserve Bank, and analyzing economic conditions for investment banks, brokerage houses, real estate companies, and other private sector businesses. They also contribute to the development of many other public policies including health care, welfare, and school reform and efforts to reduce inequality, pollution and crime.
