   Extractions: 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.

   Extractions: 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?

   Extractions: 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.

    Extractions: Summer Meeting Departmental Directory About the Department Support Welcome to the Department of Economics at Duke University. Much is and has been happening here over the past few years, and I am happy to take this opportunity to give you a brief picture of what we are all about. All of the recent changes in the department are rooted in a particular intellectual vision that the faculty developed over many years. It is a vision that emphasizes the fact that we ultimately are more than the sum of our parts if we operate in a flourishing intellectual climate that fosters the integration of activities across disciplines and sub-disciplines, across theory and empirical work, across teaching and research and across units within the university and the larger Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Research Triangle. Our faculty's research interests are diverse and intellectually broad, but they overlap in unique ways across different sub-disciplines because of the shared interest in applying theoretically sound analysis to important applied research questions. And our research activities not only increasingly overlap with one another but also increasingly involve our graduate and undergraduate students as graduate
