Department of Economics

Department introduction

Economics is a dynamic field of study that systematically understands real-life economic phenomena, aiming to tackle various challenges across different sectors. It encompasses a broad range of issues, including the production of goods and services using material and human resources, as well as critical concerns like economic growth, unemployment, poverty, environmental pollution, and inflation.

Given that the economy evolves through complex interactions among individuals within specific historical and social contexts, students must develop a comprehensive grasp of history, society, and human behavior to address economic problems effectively. To achieve this goal, our department's curriculum is thoughtfully designed to enable students to:

1.     Grasp the fundamental principles of economics.

2.     Acquire essential tools for economic analysis, such as statistics and analytical methodologies.

3.     Develop insightful perspectives on history, society, and human behavior, which serve as the foundation of the economic process.

In today's world, where the economy influences all social phenomena, graduates who majored in economics at Gyeongsang National University are actively engaged in diverse fields. They hold prominent positions in financial institutions, corporations, academia, media, and the public sector.
