<p>Apart from the obvious mathematical topics like GDP and supply and demand, would you all consider economics to be (like math) reasoing based or (like history) all memorization and regurgitation?</p>
<p>I’m in macroeconomics and I’ve taken three tests so far, and I’ve studied for them all, though not much. But it seems like on every test there are these questions that I don’t really understand but still manage to get right by way of reasoning through them and eliminating obvious wrong answers. Is this b/c I didn’t study enough, or is this just the way econ is? Also, when I’m reading the textbook, I find that most of the info, if I really think about it, is pretty obvious, though certainly not all of it.</p>
<p>Has anybody else experienced this?</p>
