Economics is the study of scare resources. What should we produce? How should we produce? For whom and when should we produce? These economic questions is the foundation in basic courses in economics.
When you study economics you will use theoretical analyses to get a picture of how the economy works and how it can change. If you continue to study on an intermediate level you can choose courses in for example industrial economics, financial economics or environmental economics. On advanced level we have courses in for instance health economics.
