Department of Economics

Economic issues affect our everyday lives in many ways, for example:
  • consumer choices,
  • the market conduct of firms,
  • workers' decisions about where and how much to work,
  • the reaction of currency markets to changes in interest rates,
  • the effects of globalisation on business,
  • governments’ determination of economic policy,
  • citizens' voting behaviour
These things interact in exciting ways and are discussed daily on television, in newspapers, in boardrooms, in ministries, within political parties and at the hairdresser's! Or said in Alfred Marshall's word: "Economics is a study of men as they live and move and think in the ordinary business of life." Principles of Economics, 1890.

Strategidag 2011

CBS ECON Strategy Symposium 16 - 17 August 2011 at Sørup Herregård
The Department of Economics (ECON) at CBS engages in a constructive dialogue on economic topics with all interested parties. Activities at the department aim at examining firms from a societal point of view, regarding society as the environment for the activities of private firms and other organisations. ECON focuses on research with clear corporate relevance, but also conducts research in more traditional socio-economic topics.
