Why study Economics?

Have you ever thought about the process of determination of price of a product? How government policies affect the economy? Whether free trade between the India and China benefits Indians? Opportunities for new markets in developing countries? Why we have pollution and what cost does it create for our society? Economists think about these and many other questions that affect our lives every day. Economists use logic, reasoning and quantitative methods to help answer these questions. A degree in economics opens up many employment possibilities within government, the private sector and non-profit organisations.
