Quotes by Dave Brat

You know and I know and economists know that trickle-down economics doesn't work.

Quotes by Dannel Malloy

Economics is a strange science. Our subject deals with some of the most important as well as mundane issues that impinge on the human condition.

Quotes by Dale T. Mortensen

The 1970s was the decade of developments in the new area of information economics. Search theory, which emphasized the need to gather information, was joined by models that featured asymmetric information, the case in which information differed across individual agents.

Quotes by Dale T. Mortensen

I went into the sciences very early on, but to me, economics pervades so much more of our lives and our existence.

Quotes by Dambisa Moyo

I was initially very interested in public policy, but then after my masters at Harvard, I felt that it was important to get a better handle on the economics of it as well. I did my Ph.D. in macroeconomics, and my thesis - 'Why Is It That Some Countries Save And Others Not?' - was on savings.

Quotes by Dambisa Moyo

Quotes by Christina Romer

I took the obligatory economics classes in school, but I've long been a fan of the Milton Friedman philosophy and its libertarian bent: One must be free to do what one wants to do, as long as you don't harm another. This is the seminal treatise on free-market economics.

Quotes by Charlie Trotter

Economics profession, they've been - they've been confident in various formulas, but economics is not physics. The same formula that works in one decade doesn't work in the next. Economics is a difficult subject.

Quotes by Charlie Munger

Economics, politics, and personalities are often inseparable.

Quotes by Charles Edison

The way I think of it, economics and ecology occupy two intellectual silos, isolated from each other. Even when they do take each other into consideration, it's not uncommon for ecologists to spout absolute nonsense about economics, and vice versa.

Quotes by Charles C. Mann

Our engagement through international economics, trade, these trade agreements, is vital and is linked to our national security. This is a lesson we learned from the '30s, it is a lesson we learned post-World War II, and it plays to our strengths.

Quotes by Charles Boustany

I love Richard Thaler's 'Quasi Rational Economics.' A collection of some of his most interesting and inventive essays, the real foundation of behavioral economics.

Quotes by Cass Sunstein

Quotes by Carlton Cuse

The moment is ripe for an experienced businessman to talk practical, prudent economics to the electorate - which is why Mitt Romney's political fortunes are steadily being resurrected from the grave.

Quotes by Camille Paglia

While I tend to side with economist Milton Freidman when it comes to free-market economics, there is a place for 'Made in the U.S.A.' where national security is concerned.

Quotes by Brandon Webb

Quotes by Bob Beauprez

Quotes by Billy Beane

Social justice and economics are both issues to me.

Quotes by Betsy DeVos

In 1922, I got a small stipend from the Swedish-American Foundation and went to Cambridge, England, for a few months and thereafter to Harvard University. In the summer, Cambridge was rather empty, but I am grateful for many pleasant talks about economics with Austin Robinson who, in the summer of 1922, seemed to be about as lonely as I was.

Quotes by Bertil Ohlin

The ultimate purpose of economics, of course, is to understand and promote the enhancement of well-being.

Quotes by Ben Bernanke

Economics has many substantive areas of knowledge where there is agreement, but also contains areas of controversy. That's inescapable.

Quotes by Ben Bernanke

I got into economics because I wanted to make things better for the average person.

Textbooks describe economics as the study of the allocation of scarce resources. That definition may be the 'what,' but it certainly is not the 'why.'

Quotes by Ben Bernanke

Economics is not brain surgery.

Quotes by Ben Carson

Quotes by Arvind Kejriwal

Lots of us have been plugging away, building a platform to talk about libertarian communism and post-scarcity economics.

Quotes by Ash Sarkar

As a child, I had no idea that I would end up in the film industry. My ambitions changed from wanting to join the army like my grandfather to taking up merchant navy as a career to running for India, and finally, investment banking while I was a student of economics honour. But during my college days, I began to get offers for modelling.

Quotes by Arjun Rampal

The whole industry is so screwed up by economics. It's disgusting to me.

Quotes by Armand Assante

I lived in London, went to the London School of Economics, do a lot of business in London, and have a lot of fun in London.

Quotes by Anthony Scaramucci

Oil has allowed us to think about economics as though energy doesn't matter.

Quotes by Andrew Nikiforuk

If I wasn't modeling, I'd be studying economics or international politics.

Quotes by Andreja Pejic

I'm always for lower taxes because lower taxes make people want to do things. Less burden, more fun, and economics is about people wanting to have fun. Growth is fun for people in the marketplace.

Quotes by Amity Shlaes

While I am interested both in economics and in philosophy, the union of my interests in the two fields far exceeds their intersection.

Quotes by Amartya Sen

Experimental economics is about conducting experiments: bringing economics into the laboratory or creating controlled conditions in the field that allow us to understand better what we are seeing in less controlled circumstances.

Quotes by Alvin E. Roth

Quotes by Alvin E. Roth

In a paper called 'The Economics of Matching: Stability and Incentives,' I showed that there were not any mechanisms that would always both produce a stable matching and make it completely safe for all firms and workers to reveal their true preferences.

Quotes by Alvin E. Roth

The simple model of a bridge is great, and you could not build a bridge without understanding it well. But if you're actually building the bridge, you need to know the site. A lot of economics is like that: When prices go up, demand is gonna go down. You can't forget that and run your economy. But it's not the only thing you need to know.

Quotes by Alvin E. Roth

I don't think most of Congress understands how economics works.

Quotes by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

The idea of applying psychology or behavioural sciences to communication is not a new one. It's very old behavioural economics. If it gives you some additional insights - so be it.

Quotes by Alexander Nix

Economics pretends to be a science. Its practitioners fill blackboards with equations and clog computers with data. But it is really a faith, or more accurately a set of overlapping and squabbling faiths, each with its own doctrines.

Quotes by Alex Berenson

If somebody had said to me in June or July of 1987, 'We'd like you to become chairman of the Federal Reserve, but you're never allowed to discuss any economics after you leave,' I'd have said, 'Forget it.' What do they want me to do? Become an anthropologist?'

Quotes by Alan Greenspan

The anti-New Deal line is wrong as a matter of economics. F.D.R.'s spending programs did help the economy and created millions of new jobs.

Quotes by Adam Cohen

Economics is all about consumption. People either spend money now or they use financial instruments - like bonds, stocks and savings accounts - so they can spend more later.

Quotes by Adam Davidson

Quotes by Abhijit Banerjee
