“Studying economics has taught me that when you are confronting a problem, things are not always as they seem. I have been equipped in my studies to truly think ‘outside the square’ and tackle the big issues in new, more successful ways. I want my future to be about using everything that I have learnt in a way that causes society to better respond to the challenges of the 21st Century. I want to be leading and directing the change into a more sustainable, inclusive and vibrant future.” Simon Matthews Simon is undertaking a double major economics and finance and a concurrent Diploma in Languages (Chinese). He is also a volunteer mathematics tutor at The Huddle, an innovative educational and community facility embedded within the North Melbourne Football Club.
Core areas of study Microeconomics
For students who care about the world, microeconomics is one of the most relevant and interesting areas they can study. Microeconomics is the foundation on which all the other areas of economics rest. Microeconomics begins with a study of the basic decision makers in the economy, the individuals and households who consume goods, sell their labour and invest their wealth, and the firms that produce goods and services. Households and firms interact with one another through markets and other institutions. The result of all these decisions and interactions is what we call the economy. Microeconomics provides a deep understanding of how consumers, firms and markets work together, which allows us to answer such fundamental questions as:

> How are prices determined? > How does the economy spontaneously organise itself so that markets operate in an orderly way? > When does the natural working of the economy tend to produce socially desirable outcomes, and when does it not? > Should the government intervene in the economy, and if so, how?
Experimental Economics
A good grasp of microeconomics is vital for managers who need to understand how markets operate and about production and pricing, for policy makers concerned with the design and operation of public policy, and for all those who want to appreciate how a modern economy operates.

Macroeconomics
Quantitative Methods and Econometrics
Macroeconomics is the study of the economy-wide outcomes, notably unemployment, inflation and economic growth. These outcomes have an important impact on the general level of economic well-being in a society.
Many questions in economics and finance involve quantifying relationships between variables, for example:
High unemployment causes losses of income and, especially for the long-term unemployed, a loss of self-esteem and social integration. High inflation causes general uncertainty about economic transactions. Growth in labour productivity, an important contributor to economic growth, is the ultimate cause of increases in living standards. Low productivity growth slows down the growth of living standards and thus slows down the improvement in economic well-being. Through the analysis of the balance of payments, macroeconomics analyses the determination of exchange rates, international trade and international capital flows. In macroeconomics an emphasis is placed on how government policy can alter economic outcomes. Fiscal and monetary policies are the most important of these. These policies can affect the level of activity and thus the outcomes for unemployment and inflation. Government policies can also affect national saving, through the government budget balance and the balance of payments. National saving is a measure of how society is dividing its output between current consumption and expenditures that will enhance consumption in the future. Achieving an appropriate division is a major objective of macroeconomic policy. It is important to study macroeconomics to understand the bigger (macro) picture of a country’s economics in order to be better prepared in times of financial crisis. level 1

> If the Reserve Bank Board increases interest rates by 0.5%, by how much will the demand for housing decline? By how much will the value of the Australian dollar rise? > If a supermarket chain spends money on TV advertising, by how much will their sales increase? > If the state government spends an extra million dollars putting uniformed police on the street, by how much will crime be reduced? All these questions, and there are many more like them, involve measuring or forecasting changes in economic and financial variables. Econometrics is concerned with such measurement. It uses theory and data from economics, business and the social sciences, along with the tools of statistics, to answer “how much� type questions. level 1

The Basement Lecture Theatre in the Business and Economics building
Focus on first year economics Subject name: Introductory Microeconomics Contact hours
Two 1-hour lectures and a 1-hour tutorial per week Topics covered
In this first year subject the main topics covered are the operation of competitive markets, social welfare and the role of government in the economy, an introduction to firm behaviour and game theory. Skills developed
You will develop an understanding of how markets operate and about production and pricing for policy makers who are concerned with the design and operation of public policy. You will also gain an appreciation of how a modern economy operates. Assessment
This subject is assessed via a 2-hour endof-semester examination (60%), a multiple choice test (5%), two assignments not exceeding 2500 words (25%) and tutorial attendance and participation (10%). Please check the Course and Subject Handbook to confirm subject details.
Teaching methods
As a compulsory subject in the Bachelor of Commerce, there are over 2,000 students taking Introductory Microeconomics each year.
This calls for creative teaching methods, such as those initiated by Professor Jeff Borland, who has been recognised for his teaching excellence, as a winner of the University of Melbourne Ed Brown Award and a Carrick Citation for Outstanding Contribution to Student Learning. The citation recognises “two decades of teaching of large student cohorts in economics, including innovative curriculum design and resource development to support student learning”. The use of case studies in lectures teaches students how to apply microeconomic theory and concepts, whilst they engage in active problembased learning in the tutorials to further explore topics introduced in the lectures. This subject also makes use of extensive web-based resources including online revision tools, the ‘online tutor’ and providing lecture materials and audiostreams of lectures online. Students can also take advantage of other resources such as extra exam review sessions and pit-stop tutorials, where they can regularly drop in to consult a tutor outside of their regular tutorial.
“The teaching in the subject is directed towards giving a huge amount of examples of and practice in applying the concepts and approaches in microeconomics. Every lecture has a case study to apply the theories and concepts which we’ve learnt in that lecture. For example, to cover markets and the benefits of trade in markets, several case studies are presented. One looks at how the model economists use to analyse competitive markets can help understand price movements in markets for everything from fish to foreign exchange; another explores why an economist would argue that ticket scalping is something that may have benefits for society. Introductory Microeconomics provides a very wide range of resources to try to make it the best learning experience possible for you.” Professor Jeff Borland

Careers You can study economics to become a professional economist, to gain skills complementary to other disciplines, or to obtain a greater understanding of the role of economics in our lives and within society. A major in economics is highly regarded by employers – it helps you to develop critical analytical and problemsolving skills, and to communicate your ideas and make your arguments clearly. Professional economists work in academia, government and the private sector in many types of roles. Forecasting the economy, advising on business strategy, helping to design government tax policies, or trading in financial markets are just a few examples. If you want to become a professional economist, you should aim to complete the honours year in economics. The demand for economists is growing in both the private and public sectors as concern increases over sustainable development, unemployment, inflation, interest rates, the current-account balance and microeconomic reform. Many students study economics to gain an economist’s perspective on such issues as to why interest rates and exchange rates vary over time, how government policy can improve environmental problems or attempt to alleviate poverty, understanding how businesses seek to compete with each other, or the effects of globalisation on the Australian economy. Economics will equip you with the analytical skills to deal with decisions, problems and options faced by society, governments, businesses and households. There is strong demand for economists with these skills from government and private sector employers. Career prospects for economists are extremely good. Economists have high starting salaries compared with most professional groups, and they move even higher up the salary scale after a few years’ experience.
Potential private sector employers

“The BCom at the University of Melbourne has a great reputation, especially in the business and finance industry. You also can’t beat the both modern and convenient facilities offered by the University, especially “The Spot”. A key drawing point of the BCom is that it is a broad degree covering all aspects of the business world, making it perfect for someone like me who is yet to find their preferred area of study within this field. It means we can try out the options that are available, and then pick and choose later on once we’ve found our calling. The breadth component allows me to study German (an Arts subject) while still maintaining the core component of my commerce course. This allows me to follow my interests and passions, and turn them into experience which could give me the edge in a business environment.” Joshuah Wren Joshuah is a third-year Bachelor of Commerce student, majoring in economics and finance. He is a recipient of both the Commerce Opportunity Bursary and a Melbourne Access Scholarship.
