Econometrics and business statistics involves the extraction of information from data. It comprises a set of tools for analysing data using economic theories or computer based statistical models. Econometric analysis provides informed support for business and economic decision making.

Microeconomics examines decisions of individuals, business and government, and the structure of industries and markets. Macroeconomics examines behaviour of the economy as a whole, such as economic growth, inflation and unemployment.
