Description
In Australia, as elsewhere, there has been a dramatic decline in the number of students undertaking undergraduate economics degrees during the 1990s. This applies equally to both specialised economics degree programs and more broadly based economics majors in business degrees. For example, and in terms of specialised economics degrees, Millmow (1995) used a Department of Education, Training and Youth Affairs (DETYA) survey of ten universities to conclude that the aggregate number of students enrolled fell by some 30 percent between 1991 and 1994. However, these official statistics only included students enrolled in the ‘Bachelor of Economics’, rather than all degree programs which could be reasonably classified as an economics qualification.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
