Economics, kauppatieteiden kandidaatti ja kauppatieteiden maisteri

Who has more than whom, and why? What are the costs and benefits of different environmental policies to deal with global warming? What are the causes and effects of unemployment? Throughout its history, economics has sought to understand how the world works and create an environment where individuals and nations thrive. It is an exciting discipline for students interested in politics, history, international affairs and consumer behaviour – while not forgetting logic and mathematics.
