Economics is the study of how society uses its resources - natural, human and man-made. Jobs, wages, the stock market, unemployment, inflation, income inequality, and other economic issues affect us all on a daily basis at the individual, community, national and global levels. By studying Economics at UAlbany you will be better able to understand these issues, to address economic problems and to contribute to their resolution.
