Abstract

This article summarises the state of the economics discipline in Australia. It looks at who studies economics, the nature of the pipeline of economics graduates, the extent to which economic skills are rewarded by the labour market and indicators of economic literacy in society. It highlights the falling size and diversity of the economics student population and discusses its implications. In contrast to the current state of economics, it notes that a robust and inclusive discipline can raise economic literacy, shape the future of economic thought and practice, and improve the quality of both public discourse and public policy.

期刊介绍： Economic Papers is one of two journals published by the Economics Society of Australia. The journal features a balance of high quality research in applied economics and economic policy analysis which distinguishes it from other Australian journals. The intended audience is the broad range of economists working in business, government and academic communities within Australia and internationally who are interested in economic issues related to Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Contributions are sought from economists working in these areas and should be written to be accessible to a wide section of our readership. All contributions are refereed.
