The study of economics will involve explorations from the perspective of an individual as well as groups of individuals – markets, communities, societies, generations. It can take a static approach, where analysis focuses on a fixed point of time, a dynamic approach which studies how things change over time, or an evolutionary approach which explores how the past continuously and cumulatively impacts the present and the future. Students learn to scrutinise the ethical implications of various economic policies, strategies and their outcomes.

The pedagogical approach would entail a combination of class lectures and discussions, problem-solving exercises, field visits, as also an exposure to the discipline through the lenses of interrelated disciplines such as history, politics, sociology, technology, psychology, ecology, and mathematics. Internship programs and the capstone thesis will invite sensitive explorations of practical issues and challenges on the ground. Academic mentors will guide students to understand and explore possible ways of tackling these challenges.
