Economics is a great discipline as it allows us to study such a wide range of social phenomena, using such a wide range of quantitative techniques. Economic questions touch every aspect of our lives, --from the availability of educational opportunities, to the types of jobs one is able to pursue, to the acceleration of technological progress. I decided to focus on labor economics as I see it as driving force behind a rising standard of living, as few incentives exist that are stronger than allowing a person to improve his or her life through the fruits of his or her personal efforts. This also ties into my personal interest of "progress studies," which examines the key components of innovation and rising rates of labor productivity.
