Content
This unit will provide a capstone experience for students doing an Economics major. It will focus on the integration of knowledge from across the economics major and the consolidation of key skills. It will also provide the opportunity for students to develop their professional identity and enhance the transition of students to the workplace. This will be achieved by dividing the unit into three modules each of which will focus on the employment of economists in different environments; that is working for the government, working for large companies, such as the banking industry, and working for private consulting firms. The emphasis will be on the specific skills economists use in these workplaces such as benefit cost analysis, economic forecasting, industry analysis, firm decision making and policy analysis.
