ECON4903 ECONOMICS IN PRACTICE

This course, designed for final year majors, aims at integrating holistically the economics knowledge acquired by the student from the diverse major and elective courses prescribed in the programme. In particular, students are guided to apply what they have learnt to analyze and understand real economic events and to predict future trends. Economic issues and problems of current interest will be emphasized. Alumni and professionals working in related fields will be invited to give sharing sessions so that students can appreciate the power of applying economic knowledge to real issues and the skills employed in such applications. In the process, students gain useful insights in the demands of different occupations and become better informed in their own career planning.
