Economics

Economics is a social science that explores how individuals, businesses, and governments allocate resources to satisfy their needs and wants. Coursera's economics catalogue helps you understand key economic concepts, theories, and tools. You'll learn about microeconomics and macroeconomics, covering topics from supply and demand, market structures, and fiscal policies to economic indicators, international trade, and economic development. You'll also learn to apply economic reasoning and data analysis in decision-making, policy-making, and strategic planning. This skill serves as a fundamental building block not only for economists but also for entrepreneurs, policy makers, consultants, and anyone interested in understanding economic principles and their applications in real-world scenarios.
