Economic problems are an ever-present and inherent part of our lives. Common issues include the periodic existence of high unemployment; global competition in world markets and arguments about the wisdom of free trade agreements; and the effect of changes in the value of the Canadian dollar. The social science of economics is our attempt to analyze and understand these and other problems. At a more basic level, economics is concerned with the material well-being of human societies. Queen’s Economics Department has a long celebrated history of academic excellence.

Why should you study economics? First, it is essential to understanding the world in which you live and work. What determines the prices of goods and services, and the returns on stocks and bonds? Why do some people earn so much and others so little? Second, the study of economics will equip you to participate more successfully in an increasingly knowledge-based and interdependent global economy. How do individuals decide how much and what kinds of education to acquire, how much to spend and save, how to invest their savings, or how much to invest in housing? Finally, the study of economics will give you a better understanding of the objectives and limitations of government policy. How can government policy help reduce environmental pollution? How does the tax system affect the incentives for people to work, spend and save, and for firms to invest? By systematically addressing these sorts of questions, economics will help you make better decisions in your personal life, in your business life and as a global citizen.
