Why study Economics and Public Policy?
The Economics and Public Policy field of study is designed to provide students with an opportunity to understand how government intervention affects the economy in an increasingly globalised world. It focuses on the economic analytical tools needed to design and evaluate public policies. Courses in public economics, regulatory economics, and microeconomic and macroeconomic analysis emphasise the rationale for government intervention and the theoretical framework that underpins the nature of such intervention. The Economics and Public Policy field of study also provides students with the necessary multidisciplinary approaches to deal with public policy problems, including elective courses in political sciences.
