Overview
How do societies decide what to produce, how much of each commodity to produce, and how do consumption patterns vary over time? How do individuals make decisions on how much to save and how the savings are invested? Â
What determines prices, exchange rates, interest rates and the level of inflation? How does the globalization of the Canadian economy affect various sectors of the Canadian economy? As a ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Economics student, you will learn about these and many other issues central to the wellbeing of societies.Â
Studying Economics is an excellent way to develop your quantitative ability, abstract reasoning, and knowledge of important features of the way the world works. Available as both a Major and an Honour, Economics offers a flexible curriculum where students can focus on theory. The Honours program in Economics is a challenging program with a strong mathematical component.Â
