Geek Speak: How is That Economics?

Please join Dr. Kyle Kopplin for Geek Speak: How is That Economics?

Economics is often colloquially characterized as a narrow set of principles that tangentially relates to business decisions or markets. What’s more, many take the theoretical approach as overly abstract, unapplicable, or unnecessarily complicated. This presentation will characterize economics as a way of problem solving rather than a set of principles or topics. To do that, we will consider common axioms that underpin many of the key takeaways of economics as well as discuss some of the applications of this type of thinking. You might just start seeing economics everywhere.
