The field of economics focuses on recognizing key players within economic systems and studying how they engage with one another. This approach involves establishing broad principles by detecting patterns in behavior and investigating cause-and-effect connections among economic factors. Economics sets itself apart through this focus on causal analysis, which supports its status as a social science. Beyond these core principles, the Economics Program also explores how economic activity intersects with wider societal influences including political, cultural, and technological developments. Consequently, the curriculum highlights courses that examine institutional frameworks, enable cross-cultural comparisons, adopt historical perspectives, and acknowledge the widespread impact of technological advancement.
