That, in its essence, is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power." — Franklin Roosevelt    Center on Economic Policy > Roosevelt Home > Davis > Economic Policy Economics, in the broadest sense of the word, is the study of how individuals make choices. As a generation of students living in a world of constant change and growing interdependence, it is important for us to have a voice in determining what these choices are and how they are made, as they will affect the world we are set to inherit. The Center for Economic Policy allows students who wish to make their voices heard, to evaluate, analyze, and produce economic policy pertaining to what they feel is important. Students will collaborate or work independently on research specific to their individual interests or collective curiosity. Topics might include the following, but are limitless: •         Monetary policy, fiscal policy, etc. •         International economics and trade policy •         Welfare policy and labor economics •         Energy and resource economics •         Development economics If you would like to become involved with the UCD Center on Economic Policy, or would like more information, please contact Paul Burow To see the individual projects our fellows are currently working on, go to the Projects Page.
