| | Economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Economics (from the Greek οίκος [oikos], 'family, household, estate', and νομος [nomos], 'custom, law', hence "household management" and "management of the state") is a social science that typically studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. | | | In marginalist economic theory, the price level is determined by the marginal cost and marginal utility. | | | Microeconomics, which examines the economic behaviour of individual actors such as businesses, households, and individuals, with a view to understand decision making in the face of scarcity and the consequences of these decisions. |

| | Economic theory is often fruitfully applied to the analysis of public and private policy issues on international trade, the environment, taxation and economic behavior, distribution of wealth and poverty, discrimination, law, labor relations, health and safety, agriculture, insurance, finance, and business. | | | The goals of economics are to better understand the world in which we live, and to contribute to the development of private and public sector policies which could more adequately address the well-being of the society. | | | Economics majors enjoy rewarding careers in government, business, finance, banking, foreign service, consulting, education, and research. |

| | And there is a strong economic argument for not using budget surpluses to fund these liabilities, put by economist Nicholas Barr from the London School of Economics, an international authority on pension funds. | | | Economic transparency falls short because it does not publish quarterly data on capacity utilization and only provides rough short term forecasts for inflation (quarterly) and output (semiannually) without numerical details about the medium term. | | | One corollary of this is that the official measure of the current account deficit probably overstates the true ‘economic’ deficit, since the valuation gains are part of the overall return on foreign assets, but are not measured in the current account which includes only income flows… |
