[FOOD FOR THOUGHTS] In hindsight, rewatching this 10 months later, I felt like I very much knew nothing about Economics. I just started my MPhil in Development Studies at Cambridge and I realised from my Development Economics paper that what I explained here was predominantly from the neoclassical (or even neoliberal) school of thought. And I had not even realised it! For those of you who are interested in Econ, just know that what I mentioned here is just a very very small tip of the iceberg. Economics is itself is HUGE, and has many schools of thought. I encourage you to read pieces by Dr Ha-Joon Chang - he's my professor at uni and I've been a fan of his work before entering Cambridge. I like that he's proposing bold ideas and criticising many elements of neoclassical / neoliberal economics that's been overused and frankly - they are very much oversimplified. Definitely take this January 2021 version of Viancqa with a grain of salt LOL because she knew nothing back then :)
@@tatendatafireyi7162 good luck! I started uni this year and I fall in and out of love with econ. my perspective has changed a lot but I still enjoy my classes. my degree actually made me fall in love with maths more. but it will definitely be exciting to start studying econ at uni even though it gets difficult sometimes
I'm majoring in Business Administration we study economics a lot specially if we specialize in Banking/Finance (this is what i'm gonna do). Economics as it's own an amazing degree with lots of high paying careers!
I'm a first year economic student and after watching your video it changed my perspectives about this course. Now I feel motivated to keep studying economics. Thanks a lot!.
So I just searched econ degree careers on RUclips and I'm not sure what to do after graduation because I have this fear of like not knowing the work when I do get a job. I'm in my second year and this video really helped ease the anxiety. Thank you,
I am a PhD in economics professor educated in the UK and USA. First in economics, you need to clearly comprehend major theories, second, you might have some level of mathematical skills when you study Keynesian economics. Third, applying economics theories into real lives is important and required to figure out solutions for social issues and economic policies. Also, when you go for higher degrees, you might decide either microeconomics, macroeconomics, or development economics, or others is suitable for you. I studied Business Economics for an undergraduate program, Development Economics at the University of Sussex in England, and PhD at the University of Sheffield in the UK. Economics can be boring and interesting depending on how your lectures or professors take initiative but usually the economics subject limits their abilities due to its theoretical depths. Anyway, good luck to my Econ students. Any questions regarding economics, you can leave some comments. Good luck again to you all🤞
Even I was a science student- physics,chem,bio and I realized science is not what i love i do not want to get into cells, microbiology , doctors or anything related to science so like you said a lot of factors i.e family members play an important role in your decision..so I wanted to take business as my major but my family did not like my idea and some one suggested why don't you go for economics..I was like yea thats a good idea, i researched about it , i liked it , my parents approved it so i'll soon be joining college for econ major
Indonesian econ student here, yes during high school I was in science class it was not because of passion but just because I have high score on junior high school national exam, peope here tend to thing that science student smarter than social science student. Anyway good vid tho
Im going to school this august and im so excited to study economics and finance,i had to research more about this course and this video is very helpful
Economics is very important. I wonder if there has been a dramatic decline in economics enrolments in Indonesia and what has been driving the fall in size and diversity of Indonesia's economics student population?
All my interests match with yours. Econ, Politics, Philosophy, and Photography. I'm still an O-level student but highly interested in the PPE. Speaking of, I hear people say that it's hard to get a job in the UK as they don't give you citizenship or something. You have to return to your own country after getting the degree. Is that true so?
Yes it is quite difficult but not impossible! Many international students I know who really work hard for their profile & CV end up getting a job here. There is also a post study work visa now that allows you to stay up to 2 yours upon graduation
Hey I'm goona take economics with politics and history as complementary subjects for my UG programme. And I plan to come to UK for doing my pg . So my question is that is it okay for me to do pg in economics in there with these two as my complementary subjects. Or is it compulsory to have maths with economics???
I'm reaching out because I'm considering pursuing a master's degree in economics, I'm currently studying BSc Psychology, but I've recently become really interested in economics and I'm thinking about making the switch. I find the subject fascinating. Also, I'm wondering if there are any specific requirements or prerequisites for someone coming from a non-economic background like mine. Any information provided would be really helpful.
I just started studying economics too :) in my country it’s called National economics, i find memorizing the graphs really hard though. I have no real interest in economics and lots of people have prior knowledge which is off putting. The time they give you to learn a topic is insanely little so it’s very hard to stay on schedule.
There are Bachelor of Arts Econ degrees that involve less maths than the BSc if that is what you're interested in - it will focus more on the social science aspects.
Hi, is there any books you would suggest to read prior to studying economics at university? ive read freakonomics and not sure what to read next? thanks!
hi!! do we need additional maths to study economics in college? because i am only studying economics and normal maths rn in high school but am afraid that i will need add maths to study econs in college.
Did you try to study something else before economics and end up not liking it? (because at the begging of the video you fore-mentioned something like this). Anyways, I started with mathematics and didn’t liked it so this year I decided to change to economics and I think that I made the right decision. Economics is such a diverse subject consisting of so many different branches and professional possibilities, being a mathematician is like one sided thing and I don’t like it.
You are absolutely right. Mathematics is so limited and also literally you can only do teaching with it (mostly people do this). Economics is so broad and we can pursue a lot of different high paying careers.
Hey. I hope you understand what is at stake for someone coming from a low income group countries. I come from India and looking for Employability of couple of degrees from UK. I would be grateful if you would agree to answer.
Hey, I'm a student who studied economics in my O and A levels and I'm looking forward to major economics in my uni. Unfortunately I haven't had A levels mathematics and I lack knowledge about calculous. I have zero knowledge about integration or differenciation. My question is that should I choose to study economics and learn along the way and rely kn my professor to help me out and trach me what I don't know? Or am I just being too ambitious. I hope you look at this comment as I'm about to enrol real soon. TIA :D
I didnt have any knowledge about differentation / integration as well before enrolling in my degree/foundation year. You will do just fine if you practiced a lot, that being said reach out to your friends, lecturers and watch step by step videos on youtube.
@@peachsehunee5123 ahhh thank you that actually helped a lot. I basically had to declare my major first and I'll be starting my classes from 10th of next month and in the meantime I'm trying to learn as much as I can tell frim my friend.

Tbh not sure as I'm not working as an Economist. But from my past interview for a researcher role that relates to Economics (as context this one was for Food Policy and they were looking for quantitative researcher), they really seek your understanding on methodologies and whether you know your statistics and econometrics. Just broadly though. As a fresh grad I don't think the expectation is too crazy so dont feel pressured. One thing I learnt though, try to learn R / Python as well - surprisingly this skill comes in very handy in Economist roles. Hope this helps

Both expressions are right, independent of each other, assuming everything else remains the same (ceteris paribus). If you want to examine the relationship then the two will look like they “correct” the market price with their own effect, and stabilise it over time to reach equilibrium. To put it in the crudest way, it goes something like this: when prices increase because demand is high (scenario 2 in your Q), ultimately it reaches a point where it’s too expensive for people to buy and hence people stop buying - demand decreases (scenario 1 in your Q), then assuming supply stays the same then there’s excess supply. To get rid of the excess supply, firms will then decrease price. If it decreases to a point where it’s so cheap that a lot of people are buying it more and more whilst the supply stays, then the item becomes relatively scarcer (more people want it but there’s a limited supply) so prices increase. And so on and so forth. (But of course this is very simplistic and assumes that the said market is a free market, there’s no information gap (perfect knowledge), no barriers, etc. In reality we’re not this perfect haha I suggest reading up Ha-joon Chang’s Breaking The Mould as an alternative framework)
