Voici comment vous pouvez appliquer de manière créative vos compétences d’économiste dans des cheminements de carrière non traditionnels.

Além de interpretar dados econômicos e prever resultados, economistas podem colaborar com sociólogos, psicólogos e ambientalistas para desenvolver soluções holísticas. Isso significa tanto focar na estabilidade fiscal e crescimento econômico, quanto também considerar o bem-estar social, a saúde mental e a sustentabilidade ambiental. Ao adotar uma abordagem sistêmica e colaborativa, economistas podem ajudar a criar políticas públicas que são mais equilibradas, equitativas e adaptáveis às complexidades do mundo moderno.

The sad truth is the majority of public policy 'think tanks' exist to push a particular line of dogma. To argue that such agenda biases 'even out' is to miss the point that such net-zero comes at considerable cost that could have been employed for constructive Public Good. In reality too many good economists are having their skills misdirected, deployed to rationalise, justify & data-mine particular politicised "Left or Right" policy agendas, rather than independently inform what happens to be right at a particular point of time, & what should be left out; or alternatively right to be ignored. The point is that good public policy demands objective economists, & good economists should fiercely object to their independence being politicised.

Numbers play a very critical role in any industry. If we talk about advertising/marketing industry, data set on length of advertisement, advertisement of which product, timing of advertisement, etc with lots of permutation and combination helps in doing analysis as which product is viral in which age group or gender, change in likes or dislikes of people, lenghty adds loses connect with people, etc. The sentiments of domestic and global economy, economy's GDP, debt level, CPI, PPI, Inflation, money supply, interest rate, etc have its impact on purchasing power of individuals.

Think systemically, from a macro economic perspective. Instead of entirely focus on how to deliver better outcomes to people (better treat patients, better manage medical wastes, etc), consider what the root causes of unhealth are and how these might intersect with other economic sectors. For example in health, a huge burden on the healthcare system is obesity- the solutions to this don't necessarily lie within the health sector, but with the urban development sector to design in a more active lifestyle, or with food retailers to disincentivise junk food, or with farmers to increase the nutritional content of crops. Everything is connected and a macro economic perspective is key to targeting the root cause.

In health economics, you’re the Dr. House of the financial world, diagnosing the economic health of medical systems and finding cures for inefficiencies.
