Economics is about choice and the impact of our choices on each other. Economists study the ways a society uses resources such as land, labour, raw materials, and machinery to produce goods and services. They analyse not only the demand and supply, but also the costs and benefits of distributing and consuming these goods and services. Economists conduct research, collect and analyse data, monitor economic trends, and develop forecasts. Experts in this field play a prominent role in practical applications of Economic Policy in areas such as finance, labour, agriculture, transportation, real estate, environment, natural resources, energy, or health.
