In a nutshell, economics is the all-encompassing study of how people make choices. As individuals, families and countries, we make difficult choices about how to use limited resources to meet our needs and wants. It’s a complex balancing act. And it’s an economist’s job to respond to threats and opportunities - based on the money, time and information available - when things change. If that's something that inspires you, an economics summer program is an excellent first step. Browse the very best programs in our guide below.
