Economics (ECN)
Section Information
Economics focuses on how individuals, firms, governments, and societies allocate resources, produce goods and services, and make financial and policy decisions. It examines markets, incentives, behavior, growth, development, and the broader systems that shape economic outcomes at local, national, and global levels.
Modern economic research includes microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, behavioral economics, public policy, international trade, labor markets, development economics, and financial economics. Advances in data analytics, experimental methods, computational modeling, and global economic integration continue to influence the field.
This section publishes empirical studies, theoretical analyses, policy evaluations, modeling work, reviews, and case studies addressing economic behavior, market mechanisms, public policy, financial systems, and the forces that drive economic performance and social welfare.
