Program Description	Economics is the study of how societies, governments, business, households and individuals allocate their scare resources in different uses. Our discipline has two important features. First, we develop conceptual models of behaviour to predict responses to changes in policy and market conditions. Second, we use rigorous statistical analysis to investigate these changes. The study of economics can also provide valuable knowledge for making decisions in everyday life. It offers tools with which to approach questions about the desirability of particular financial investment opportunity and budget making & analysis for any particular economic programme. It also provides us suitable tools for social welfare analysis in different economic situations.
