What is the difference between home economics and economics?
Q. What is the difference between home economics and economics? Home ecoomics is considered to be a soft option for an As level subject. So is economics the same. And also is economics a soft or good As level choice?
Asked by Aqwe Qwa - Wed Nov 18 15:22:21 2009 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Home economics is related to Life Skills--cooking, balancing your checkbook, sewing, etc. Economics is the study of markets and money. Supply and demand curves. It is in NO WAY a "soft" class. Econ is hard and uses a lot of math.

What's the difference between financial economics and monetary economics?
Q. They seem to be almost the same, although not exactly. And in universities, a detailed subject on financial economics is usually different from a subject on monetary economics. Also, which is a better elective if I choose only one of these?
Asked by Dino S - Mon Jul 5 14:46:38 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Those are very broad terms, but financial economics would deal with how activities are financed and the relationships of equity and debt pricing. Monetary economics deals with the aggregates of the money supply, velocity, reserve requirements, etc.

A. I personally think a class in Microeconomics would benefit all students, and should be required in public high schools. Not enough people understand how to make their own budgets and invest their own earnings. Macroeconomics can be a benefit in our overall understanding of politics in America. Other than that, most people will never use it.

How come Business adminstration is more popular than economics major?

A. Business seems to be the most popular major at almost every college. Economics is all about theory and studying the exchange of goods and services. Business is more hands on and creative. I think the reason it's so popular is because a Business degree can be used in so many fields.

A. New economic anomalie - Benign deflation (falling prices due to falling percentage of fixed costs to actual end price. Constant demand for a product gives the producer of the product the ability to produce it in greater quantity while keeping fixed overhead prices the same. Thus, the producer can offer the product at a lower price.) could be your economic principle at work in the future. As it applies to healthcare, the competition of government subsidized healthcare at reduced cost would drive most customers to the least expensive care. giving more HC professionals the incentive to join the govt. program.

Graduates of Economics programs can become: CEO's Financial analysts, planners, researchers for the government or private institutions, or banks. Business consultants Investment banker or consultant Another option is to go on to law school.

What happens in classical economics theory if government raises taxes?
Q. I'm interested only in classical theory economics. I know that in this theory, the increase of money produces only inflation. What about the increase of tax rates? Does it increase prices or it just decrease investments?
Asked by Jan K - Tue Dec 18 07:48:44 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. What it's doing is shifting the spending power from individuals to the govn't. So innovation / business creation may go down, -if folks think they can't keep what's theirs. Other than that, - it appears it's a closed system. Money is not leaking in nor out of the system, - just who spends it, or who has it, and doesn't spend it (investment). If you actually talked about lowering interest rates, - then folks would 'pull' money from their own future, - and spend it today (more-so). Hence that would be an increase in the (virtual) money supply (today).

A. Nearly all drugs contain heterocycles as do many other chemical entities that are sold. Some of th elargest corporations in the world rely on small molecules for their cash flow: Exxon, Dupont, Pfizer, Dow, Merck, Glaxo, etc. In pharma there is a very fine line between what a consumer can be charged before the claims of "drug company rape" and other options are found with the ever present complication of government nullification of patents. There is the cost-benefit arguement with drugs and even in early drug testing, some sort of separation must be made between the cost of the drug and the benefit obtained.

Asked by scalizithaproblem - Tue Oct 9 22:27:02 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The immediate cause was the recession that started in the 2nd quarter of 2001. When the economy started its recovery in early 2002 tax revenues were to eventually reach levels higher than they were in the surplus years of the late 90's. However, by then lawmakers in Washington had reneged on the spending limits put in place during the 90's; and as a consequence the federal budget has continued to run in deficit.

What's the difference between majoring in Economics under Arts & Sciences vs. Business?

I'm currently applying for colleges and I notice at many colleges that when it asks me to choose a major it has economics listed under both the School of Arts & Sciences and the School of Business.

Asked by Kikki - Wed Jul 23 18:43:56 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The main difference is in the courses you take outside of Economics. If you study in a B-School, then you have to take courses in other Business areas, like Marketing, Accounting, management, finance, etc. In the college of Arts & Sciences, you would not be required to take those classes, but may have other requirements in the arts or the sciences. I can't tell you which is preferable -- because it depends on the school. Many of the top undergraduate schools -- like Harvard, Princeton, Duke, Chicago and Stanford -- do not have undergraduate business schools. But an Economics degree from the A&S college of one of those schools would be better than one from a Business School at most schools. On the other hand, a BS in Economics from… [cont.]
