“Economie” is the French term for “economics,” which is the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. It analyzes how individuals, businesses, governments, and nations allocate their resources to satisfy needs and wants. Economics is divided into two main branches: microeconomics, which focuses on individual agents and markets, and macroeconomics, which examines the economy as a whole, including national productivity, inflation, and employment. The field encompasses various theories and models to understand economic phenomena and inform policies that affect economic stability and growth. Economists use quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze data, conduct research, and make predictions about economic trends and behaviors.
