The business of economics

Professor Sriya Iyer from the Faculty of Economics, and Professor Chander Velu from the Department of Engineering have a letter published in The Economist magazine this week arguing that Economics is continuing to be a foundational discipline, but it has the potential to become as practical as engineering.

She says that studying small samples and adopting such approaches by working collaboratively with such disciplines can only strengthen the toolbox of economists and contribute to a better understanding of business.
