Economics

What determines the prices of goods and services? How do individuals decide how much to spend and save? How can government policies help reduce environmental pollution? These are questions we all face every day. Economics is our attempt to analyze and understand them.

Economics at Queen鈥檚 is widely recognized as one of the leading Economics departments in Canada. The programs are challenging, rigorous, and of small to medium size.
