Econometrics

Econometrics is a way of using math to help understand how things work in economics. It helps to explain how changes in certain factors (like the costs of goods and services or how much people earn) can affect different things like the way people buy things or how much money a country makes. By analyzing data, economists (people who study economics) can use econometrics to figure out the best way to make decisions.
