Economic studies show society can best use resources such as land, raw materials, capital, and labor. They analyze the relationship between the supply of goods and services and the demand, as well as how these goods and services are produced, distributed, and consumed. Some economists work on public issues such as the control of inflation, business cycles, unemployment, wage, tax, and tariff policies. Others collect, analyze, and interpret data on a wide variety of economic problems and develop theories to explain causes of these problems and identify possible solutions. Economics provides both a general academic experience and professional preparation. The program emphasizes economic analysis, institutions and policy in American, regional, and urban settings.
