Welcome

This Wall Street Journal article, published on July 5th, 2005, describes an "explosion" in economics majors all over the world. It points out that students increasingly see an economics major as "cool" and understand that it is in growing demand. At the University of Chicago, for example, 24% of the graduating class last year majored in economics. At Harvard and NYU, economics is the most popular major. At certain European universities, a third of undergrads study economics and related subjects.
