Hello guys!

Of Finance and Economics, which is better and why?

both ar good but i think economics is preferable because it covers itself '' economics'' while having finance as part of it. But finance cant treat economics as a part of it

Good^^
Economics all d way.

I had earlier responded to this at the career section.This is my view ;

Both complement each other, so it is difficult to say which is better.Finance is an offshoot of the mainstream Economics.Studying Economics or Finance depends on one's interest and future goals.So, none can be said to be better.The only d/f b/w finance and economics is that the later is quite broader and therefore covers a lot more aspects of finance.An econs grad with little more effort can conveniently do what a finance grad can do or even more.

During my undergraduate studies we actually did almost all courses offered by the finance students, likewise they, except some more advanced maths, micro-macro and econometrics courses which were taken by econs majors only.

In summary, i can say both are good and offer better career opportunities.Finance is basically applied Economics.
