“Learning economics and finance is an excellent way to understand the
society we live in. It is exciting to learn how to analyse current events, such
as the GFC, in light of economics and financial theories. This course enables
students to have open minds and think critically. I have no doubt that what I
learnt here will be beneficial all my life.”
Jonathan Sun Jonathan Sun is a current Bachelor of Commerce student majoring in Economics and Finance. He is
an international student from Hong Kong, was a tutor for the subject Intermediate
Microeconomics, and was the recipient of the Global Citizen Award at
International House.
1Economics
Economics provides skills in problem solving for business and government. Economics helps you understand what happens in markets and national economies and shows you how to analyse and interpret data. Ultimately, the role of economics is to enable you to make better decisions about the many types of problems that you will confront working in the commercial world or in government.

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?
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.
“I have been lucky enough to discuss my ideas in economics with some of the most
famous economists in their respective fields. In my summer holidays I worked at Frontier
Economics, a microeconomic consulting firm in Melbourne, which is where I now
work full time. During my vacation work I used mathematical models to study the gas
and electricity markets and to solve client problems. I also modified existing models
in accordance with changes in market dynamics, and created new models for
emerging energy markets.”

macroeconomicS
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.
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, macro-economics 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.
QUanTiTaTive meThodS and economeTricS
Many questions in economics and finance involve quantifying relationships between variables, for example:
> 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.

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 problem-based 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 audio-streams 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.”

“Little did I know when I chose to study the Bachelor of Commerce at Melbourne, that studying subjects such as economics, quantitative methods and finance would completely change the way that I see the world. The Bachelor of Commerce at the University of Melbourne is truly world class, both in terms of the calibre of academics that it employs and the quality of graduate it produces.”

Andrew is a current Bachelor of Commerce student, majoring in economics and finance. Andrew was part of the winning team in the 2010 Marshall Case Competition at the University of Southern California.
An honours year is a fourth year of specialised study in economics and related areas. It is open to students wanting either to specialise in economics, or to undertake some combined program that complements economics. It is an integrated program with an emphasis on research, decision-making skills and economic theory and its application to policy.
The honours year is a full-time course, normally taken immediately after finishing the requirements for the three-year Bachelor of Commerce.
The course consists of six semester-length subjects in economics and related areas, as well as a research essay which is given the weight of two subjects.
If you want to become a professional economist, you should aim to complete the honours year in economics.
SelecTion proceSS
To be eligible for admission to honours in economics students must have satisfied the requirements of the pass degree and completed a major in Economics (or equivalent) with an average grade of at least H2B (70%) across the third year subjects that constitute the major, though this grade average may not necessarily guarantee entry into the program as it is subject to availability of places.

“I enjoy how relevant the course is to the real world. I love stepping out of an economics
lecture and reading the newspaper in my breaks to find that the RBA is adjusting interest rates – and
understanding their rationale behind doing so. I also cherish extra-curricular opportunities offered
at the University. I travelled under a University of Melbourne Scholarship to a Summer Program in Indonesia in 2011 and I was one of six Australian
Youth Delegates selected to attend the 2012 Youth G20 Summit in Washington DC. If it
wasn’t for the Faculty’s support, opportunities such as this wouldn’t be possible.”

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 problem-solving 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.

Bachelor of Commerce12
“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.”
