Economic analysis is widely used in various public policy fields such as environmental policy, industrial organization, social welfare, and labour market. Economic principles of consumer and producer theory, social welfare economics, public goods and externality, market failures and imperfect information offer many insights into understanding of economics in deriving solutions to the issues of public policy.
