When I originally embarked upon my university career, I chose to major in business. I knew that I wanted to become involved in the field of international commerce so this seemed like a logical choice. But I have come to understand the value of a more rigorous understanding of the field of economics specifically.

Economic Models of Voting It is generally believed that the more the economy grows (or slows down), the more all voters reward (or punish) the incumbent party for improving (or worsening) their economic situation. Presidential approval ratings often drive the results of the economic models of voting. These approval ratings are typically conceptualized as capturing both non-economic factors and other economic factors beyond near-election economic growth. This paper will discuss two
The author makes mention of potential careers in economics, but also points out how one will use one's economics background even if he or she does not ultimately pursue an economics career. The information that the author presents in this section is realistic and accurate, and includes ways to follow-up on an undergraduate economics education.
