Applied Economics is ideal for undergraduates studying economics, business studies, management and the social sciences. It is also suitable for those studying professional, HND and 'A' level courses. Applied Economics communicates the vitality and relevance of the subject to students, bringing economics to life. Containing up-to-date information on economic issues and events, the book helps students apply economic principles to the 'real world' and gives them an insight into the difficulties of formulating and implementing economic policy.
