William C. Wood's economics website

Economics
is the study of choice under scarcity. From that simple definition, economics branches into fascinating fields of inquiry touching most aspects of human and social behavior.

This website
is intended to help you explore the field of economics, whether you're in my 200-level principles classes, upper-level or graduate classes, or just visiting.

I'm interested
in micro- and macroeconomics, and especially in the behavioral economics that ties these two branches of economics together. My teaching and research reflect these interests. Also, in doing economics I have discovered how to get rich -- and why it doesn't matter.
