What is Economists?

Economists and economic reasoning sit at the center of coursework across business, public policy, social science, and even healthcare programs. Students are asked to engage with the work and methods of economists because understanding how markets function, how prices are set, and how policy decisions ripple through an economy is essential preparation for professional and civic life. The topic is academically interesting precisely because economic thinking connects abstract theory to concrete, measurable outcomes — from consumer behavior and exchange rate volatility to the ethics of healthcare reform and the unintended consequences explored in works like Freakonomics.

The papers collected here reflect a wide range of approaches. Some take a policy analysis angle, examining fiscal and monetary tools in relation to current macroeconomic conditions or debating the negative effects of minimum wage legislation. Others are case-study driven, looking at specific corporate decisions around dividend policy, sourcing, and finance. Behavioral dimensions also appear prominently, with papers studying how self-perception shapes consumer choice and how human decision-making processes diverge from purely rational economic models. Historical surveys of economics as a discipline round out the range, giving students a foundation for understanding how contemporary economic thought developed.

A strong essay on this topic begins with a clearly scoped thesis — identifying whether the argument is about economic theory, a specific policy, or a real-world market outcome. Evidence that carries weight includes empirical data on prices, demand, cost, and market impact, as well as well-reasoned engagement with economic frameworks. The most common pitfall is treating economics as self-evident common sense rather than a discipline with contested assumptions that require careful, evidence-based argumentation.

Engineering ethics in individual automobile safety technology

The tension between business and ethics—such as that robustly illustrated by the Ford Pinto debacle—fits extraordinarily well with the consideration of vehicular technology, the use of which may pose safety hazards for drivers and others in the vicinity of preoccupied drivers. The question then begs: where does the responsibility for safety belong—with the consumer who is in the driver's seat, the manufacturer who will quite obviously have mixed motivations, or with the government that will need to balance cost with benefit. Or perhaps the responsibility ultimately goes to watchdog groups and consumers demand—through legislative process—that human lives are not well matched to economic cost-benefit analysis made from a particularly economic frame.

Prostitution and the illusion of career choice in poverty

A contemporary definition of career would necessarily include the concept of choice and commitment.

This essay examines this issue from multiple viewpoints, including prostitutes.

International tourism's contribution to the United States economy

Tourism evolved as an industry where people are not only fascinated by the Pyramids and Great Canyon alone but also the Empire State Building and want to visit and live in places that are filled with the wonders of men.
