Economics as a scienc

Economics is the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. The term economics comes from the Greek for oikos (house) and nomos (custom or law), hence "rules of the house(hold)." 
Areas of economics may be divided or classified into various types, including: 
1.microeconomics and macroeconomics 
2.positive economics ("what is") and normative economics ("what ought to be") 
3.mainstream economics and heterodox economics 
4.fields and broader categories within economics. 
Microeconomics (or price theory) is a branch of economics that studies how individuals, households, and firms make decisions to allocate limited resources, typically in markets where goods or services are being bought and sold. 
Positive economics is the branch of economics that concerns the description and explanation of economic phenomena. 
Normative economics is the branch of economics that incorporates value judgments about what the economy should be like or what particular policy actions should be recommended to achieve a desirable goal. 
Mainstream economics includes theories of market and government failure and private and public goods. 
Heterodox economics is a category referring to the approaches, or schools of economic thought, that are considered outside of orthodox economics. 
Econometrics is concerned with the tasks of developing and applying quantitative or statistical methods to the study and elucidation of economic principles. Econometrics combines economic theory with statistics to analyze and test economic relationships. 
An economist is an expert in the social science of economics. 
A transition economy (переходная экономика) or transitional economy is an economy which is changing 
from a centrally planned economy to a free market. These changes often may lead to increased inequality of incomes and wealth, dramatic inflation and a fall of GDP (ВВП). 
Transition process is usually characterised by the changing and creating of institutions, particularly private enterprises; changes in the role of the state, thereby, the creation of fundamentally different governmental institutions and the promotion of private-owned enterprises, markets and independent financial institutions : 
Transition in a broad sense implies:  
* liberalizing economic activity, prices, and market operations, along with reallocating resources to their most efficient use; 
developing indirect, market-oriented instruments for macroeconomic stabilization;  
achieving effective enterprise management and economic efficiency, usually through privatization; 
imposing hard budget constraints, which provides incentives to improve efficiency; 
and establishing an institutional and legal framework to secure property rights, the rule of law, and transparent market-entry regulations.
