Economics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation search Face-to-face trading interactions on the New York Stock Exchange trading floor. Financial decisions can be one of many economic choices people make. Economics is the social science that studies the production, distribution , and consumption of goods and services . The term economics comes from the Greek for oikos (house) and nomos (custom or law), hence "rules of the house(hold)." A definition that captures much of modern economics is that of Lionel Robbins in a 1932 essay : "the science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses." Scarcity means that available resources are insufficient to satisfy all wants and needs. Absent scarcity and alternative uses of available resources, there is no economic problem . The subject thus defined involves the study of choices as they are affected by incentives and resources.
Areas of economics may be divided or classified into various types, including:

GMU Civil War on Why People Go to College
Alternative titles: Why I don't understand academic economists or Why some people think economics is autistic
Tyler Cowen
believes the major value of a college education is in the skills it provides you: In my view education is mainly about indoctrination to give you more productive habits. So yes it is learning, but not in the way they might have told you, and that is why it so often does not feel like learning. Whereas Arnold Kling argues that college is one big dating service for the intelligent: Both of these papers support my pet theory of everything, which is that the value of college is in assortative mating. And Bryan Caplan believes that people go to (and presumably complete) college to signal to employers that they have skills and personal habits that would be useful to the company (and that they are not "weirdos", according to Caplan): Let me end with a challenge to all the economists who dismiss the signaling model of education on theoretical grounds: Almost all economists already admit that labor markets, competitive though they are, adjust slowly in the face of unemployment. Why is it so hard to believe that labor markets suffer from another major problem, too? If you can believe that labor markets are not evolving into spot markets, why can't you believe that labor markets are stuck in a socially inefficient signaling equilibrium?

Welcome to the Economics Website. This site is an introduction to basic concepts on economics and contains information, quizzes, activities and links to various online resources to learn more about our global economy. Why is it important to study economics or learn about our economy? There are many reasons, but one of the most important is the study of economics is concerned with how people get the goods and services they need and want. It also focuses on money - how it is made, lost, used and misused. When our economy does well, we as a nation and as people do well. When our economy is in crisis or doesn't do well, the nation suffers and we as people don't always get the goods and services we need. Thus it is important that all citizens be informed about the economy. Click on the topics below to get more specific information about the various aspects of economics.

The Department of Economics is a jewel in the crown of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst...It has a highly distinguished faculty working within several different traditions in economics: Marxian, post-Keynesian, institutionalist, historical, non-Marxian radical political economy, and feminist economics. Many members of the faculty enjoy national and international reputations for the quality, originality, and relevance of their work. "
