Urban Development & Economic Conditions
An economic agency can essentially be any organization that deals with a particular aspect of economic theory or policy. Numerous agencies at the national and international level are devoted to furthering the study of economics and improving the economic state of individual nations and the world. Studies of various aspects of the economy are constantly being conducted in an attempt to determine trends and isolate the factors that have the most influence on the economy as a whole. Some agencies, such as the American Economic Association and the Council on Economic Education, provide information about career availability in the field of economics.
