Careers in Economics
Economics - art or science?
At the first degree level, most universities in India offer honours courses in economics leading to the award of B.A (Hons). There are a few which offer a B.Sc (Hons). So is economics an art or a science?
The BA degree primarily takes a social science approach whereas BSc usually follows a more scientific and quantitative approach. BSc would for example have subjects like econometrics, a combination of Economic theory expressed in mathematical form with statistical methods; that’s used to measure and correlate the relationships among such variables as prices, wages, output, employment and capital investment in different sectors of the economy.
