经济学和数学（荣誉）文学士学位

研究“选择的科学”，了解如何最好地使用有限的资源来满足个人和社会的需求。您将研究个人消费者如何选择花费时间和金钱，以及生产者如何预测和响应消费者的需求。您将了解整个经济，从银行体系，失业，政府债务和税收到国际贸易和汇率，以及自然资源的使用和保护。经济学分为两个部分：微观经济学和宏观经济学。微观经济学着眼于在竞争的替代场景下市场体系的运作。它研究了个人，家庭和公司的经济决策，并显示​​了这些决策如何相互作用以产生市场结果。然后，微观经济学考察了市场结果的效率以及它们对社会的有益程度。宏观经济学考察了广义经济
Economics is divided into two parts: Microeconomics and Macroeconomics. Microeconomics focuses on the operation of the market system under alternative scenarios about competition. It studies the economic decisions of individuals, households and firms and shows how those decisions interact to produce market outcomes. Microeconomics then examines the efficiency of the market outcomes and the extent to which they benefit society. Macroeconomics examines the functioning of the broader economy and some of its key sectors. Its main focus is on economic performance as measured by employment, unemployment, and the gap between aggregate economic activity and its potential. Through this analysis, macroeconomics identifies factors that help an economy achieve sustained increases in its standard of living. Macroeconomics also pays special attention to monetary phenomena, inflation, interest rates, and the exchange rate.<br><br>The analytical tools developed in micro and macro economics are applied to many different subject areas within economics such as industrial organization, labour economics, international trade, economic development, taxation, and government expenditure. Other fields, such as money and banking and international payments, apply economic tools to the study of financial markets. The analyses yield insights and predictions that are used to develop public policy on a wide range of issues.
