Economics

Economics is the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. It seeks to understand how individuals, businesses, governments, and societies make choices about allocating resources, which are typically limited. The discipline is divided into two main branches: microeconomics, which focuses on the behavior of individuals and firms in making decisions regarding resource allocation, and macroeconomics, which looks at the economy as a whole, examining factors such as inflation, unemployment, and economic growth. Economic theories and models are utilized to analyze the effects of policies and external factors on supply and demand, market structures, and overall economic performance. Ultimately, economics aims to provide insights that help improve decision-making and promote efficiency and equity in resources.
